Netherlands Centre for Coastal Research
We are thrilled to announce the successful conclusion of the NCK Days 2025, held from March 19-21 at the Topshuis, Oosterscheldekering. This year's event, organized by Rijkswaterstaat, brought together young and leading researchers and professionals in coastal engineering and management for an inspiring and insightful gathering.
Highlights of the Event:
- Field Trip: The event kicked off with a simulator experience of the 1953 storm surge disaster, followed by a boat tour of the Oosterschelde, and concluded with an exclusive look inside the Oosterscheldekering.
- Dynamic Sessions: Over the next two days, we hosted a series of engaging oral and poster sessions covering topics from coastal management to nature-based solutions.
- Keynote and Awards: The event featured a keynote by Willy Dekker and concluded with an awards ceremony recognizing outstanding contributions. Floris van Rees wowed everyone with his presentation on Thursday, earning the best presentation award, while Pauline Overes took home the prize on Friday. Kamiel Röell took home the best poster award on Thursday, and Bart van Westen wrapped up the event with his award-winning poster on Friday.
A big thank you to all the participants, presenters, and organizers (Freek Brils & Laura Brakenhoff) for making NCK Days 2025 a memorable event!
