Sponsored Delegates Program
 ? Atmosphere Photography Each year we financially support river scientists and practitioners from ‘Least Developed Countries’ to attend the International Riversymposium to present their knowledge, and to learn and develop important opportunities for improving rivers in their countries.
Since 2003 we have funded close to 200 delegates to attend the Symposium, providing a continuous level of invaluable support for river practitioners and scientists.
The purpose of providing financial support for Sponsored Delegates is to:
- enable individuals who cannot self fund to attend the Symposium.
- provide an opportunity for professional development.
- undertake cross-cultural sharing of resources, knowledge and expertise.
- enable capacity.
- extend and influence our global networks in ways that will assist them to achieve on-ground results in sustainable river management.
‘After exchanging experiences and techniques during the four day Riversymposium, I have developed some more ideas for research with new techniques in Pakistan. I will arrange a seminar at Karachi under the topic ‘Experiences of 9th International Riversymposium’ for university students. I and my students thank you for your support.’
