2014 MIKE by DHI UK Symposium:
Knowledge sharing for water and environmental professionals
Website: http://www.dhi-uk.info/ugm
Date: 13th to 14th May 2014
Venue: Coombe Abbey Hotel, Warwickshire, UK

Registration: http://www.mikebydhi.com/GlobalEvents/UKUGM2014.aspx

There are now only two weeks before the 2014 MIKE by DHI UK Symposium, and it promises to be a well-supported event again this year.

The Symposium is a free-of-charge knowledge sharing event for water and environmental professionals comprising both conference-style presentations (during the User Group Meeting on the first day) and workshop-style training sessions.

The programme is being finalised and the latest version can be viewed here.

As a flood professional, you may be interested in talks on 'Modelling Extreme Water Levels in the Swan and Canning Rivers in Perth, WA', 'Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management (CFRAM) Studies in Ireland' and 'The CORFU Flood Damage Assessment Toolbox'. The training on the second day will include the setup and review of fully integrated riverine, urban pipe & overland flow flood models.

If you work within the coastal or marine environment, you may find talks on 'Using MIKE 21 for the Estimation of Japan Typhoon Risk', 'How Severe was the 2013/14 Winter, and How Did the Met Office Wave Model Perform?' and 'Water Level and Tidal Current Calibrations in Ramsey Bay' interesting. Training on the following day includes guidance on wave transformation, overtopping of coastal defences and associated flood inundation.

Other presentations and training sessions will cover diverse topics including water quality and groundwater behaviour.

To celebrate our 50th Anniversary, there are also several special offers ranging from additional free training, to free or discounted software for all those who attend the event. You may find the offer of a free 'Natural Flood Management Workshop' with complimentary MIKE SHE 'Pilot Project' licence of particular interest.

As usual, our Symposium is free of charge and participants will receive lunch and refreshments on both days. Overnight accommodation is available at the venue for a special rate of £94.50 per person per night, including evening meal and breakfast.
