Dear members of EWG Dams and Earthquakes,
Dear colleagues,
As Chairman of the European Working Group, I am pleased to invite you to the 7th EWG meeting, which this time takes the form of an international symposium. The three previous symposia, held in Saint-Malo (France), Rome (Italy) and Lisbon (Portugal), were great successes on the scientific, technical and human aspects. They brought the research and engineering communities closer together, and contributed to a better understanding of seismic risk and the emergence of safer seismic design methods and practices. While the work of the EWG has been able to continue in a remote form, this symposium will be the first post-COVID event to bring us together in the true sense of the word.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Greek Committee on Large Dams for agreeing to organize this symposium in this magnificent city of Athens. I would also like to highlight the work of the Scientific Committee, which has developed the symposium program around the following themes:
More than ever, hydraulic structures are critical infrastructures for our societies. It is our duty to do our utmost to ensure the safety of our fellow citizens in the face of the threat of natural hazards. This symposium gives us a unique opportunity to bring our community together to share our experience and practices in the field of earthquake engineering applied to dams. I am convinced that this symposium will provide all those present with the opportunity for fruitful scientific and technical discussions that will contribute to the advancement of European dam engineering.
I look forward to seeing many of you in Athens in September 2024.
Please accept my warmest and most sincere greetings.

ear colleagues,
On behalf of the Greek Committee on Large Dams, it is our utmost pleasure to extend a warm invitation to you for the forthcoming International Symposium on Dams and Earthquakes, to be held in Athens, from September 12th to 13th, 2024. The symposium stands as a significant opportunity to convene a diverse array of international experts in dam design and earthquake engineering. Our aim is to foster a dynamic exchange of innovative ideas, experiences, and research findings, all geared towards advancing the seismic safety of dams worldwide.
Located in the heart of Greece, Athens prides on its rich history and culture spanning over 5000 years. From its iconic archaeological sites to its world-renowned museums and vibrant art galleries, Athens offers an unparalleled blend of ancient grandeur and contemporary charm. We are confident that your time here will be enriched by exploring its myriad attractions alongside friends and colleagues.
We trust that the International Symposium will prove to be an intellectually stimulating and rewarding experience, complemented by the enriching backdrop of Athens' cultural tapestry.

Dear Colleagues and Friends of ICOLD,
I am thrilled to extend a heartfelt invitation on behalf of the International Commission of Large Dams (ICOLD) to our esteemed 106 National Committees.
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to send delegates and accompanying persons to the highly anticipated 92nd Annual Meeting of ICOLD, scheduled to take place in the vibrant capital city of India, New Delhi, from 27 Sept. to 3 Oct., 2024.
New Delhi offers a captivating opportunity to immerse yourself in the country's rich culture, heritage, and warm hospitality. As a hub of ideas and innovation, the city provides the perfect backdrop for this event, bringing together experts & professionals from around the world. Furthermore, October in India presents delightful weather conditions, setting the stage for an enjoyable and unforgettable experience. The diligent National Committee of India (INCOLD) will be hosting the 92nd Annual Meeting and International Symposium of ICOLD, offering an exceptional program in a captivating setting.
Building upon the successes of previous gatherings organized by INCOLD, including Congresses in 1951 and 1979, as well as the Annual Meeting in 1998, we eagerly anticipate a remarkable and unforgettable ICOLD 2024 92nd Annual Meeting and International Symposium.
The theme of the ICOLD 2024 International Symposium is "Dams for People, Water, Environment & Development," emphasizing the critical role of dams in sustainable development and environmental protection. The event will feature a diverse range of technical sessions, plenary talks, and panel discussions, providing an excellent platform for participants to share experiences, insights, and best practices while fostering mutual learning.
Alongside the technical program, there will be ample opportunities for networking and socializing, including cultural events, technical tours, and social activities, enabling you to immerse yourself in the local culture and experience the warm hospitality of the host country. India holds a prominent position as a strong and longstanding member of ICOLD, boasting an impressive track record of over 5264 dams, with approximately 437 dams currently under construction. The nation stands as a global leader in the development of vital water infrastructure, spearheading significant projects such as the Bhakhra, Koldam, Tehri Dam, Bichom Dam and Subansiri Lower projects, as well as the World Bank-supported Dam Rehabilitation Improvement Projects. These modern water infrastructure endeavors, supported by INCOLD, have made substantial contributions to the sustainable growth of India's agriculture, water supply, and power sectors, effectively meeting the escalating demands of a dynamic nation.
With utmost confidence, we assure you that the 2024 Congress will be a resounding success. We encourage you to mark your calendars and join us in New Delhi, India, in October 2024. I am looking forward to your presence at this prestigious event.
Yours sincerely,
Michel Lino
President of ICOLD
