From June 22 to 27, 2025, the 41st World Congress of the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) was held in Singapore. Associate Researcher Shan Yuqi from our institute was invited to participate and presented her latest research findings on vegetation-flow interaction at the special session entitled "Advances in the Study of Vegetation in a Variety of Settings".

The International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) is a prestigious global academic organization composed of experts and engineers in the fields of hydro-environmental engineering and related disciplines. As one of the oldest academic organizations in the field of water science, IAHR wields extensive international influence in hydro-environmental engineering.

During the conference, Associate Researcher Shan Yuqi engaged in in-depth exchanges with scholars from renowned institutions such as the National University of Singapore and the University of Aberdeen. Multiple collaborative agreements were reached regarding future research directions in vegetation-flow interactions. This academic exchange further enhanced our institute's international standing in the field of sediment dynamics in vegetated channels and laid a solid foundation for subsequent international cooperation.
