We are excited to announce that the NCK Days 2026 will take place from 25–27 March in Egmond aan Zee, hosted at Hotel Zuiderduin. This year’s event promises to be an inspiring gathering for researchers and professionals in coastal engineering, geomorphology, and management. Join us for three days of knowledge exchange, networking, and engaging discussions on the latest developments in coastal and estuarine dynamics.
On Wednesday, 25 March, we will kick off with an excursion to the Hondsbossche Duinen, a site that tells the story of coastal innovation. Once the Hondsbossche and Pettemer Sea Defence (HPZ), a hard sea dike, it was transformed between 2013 and 2015 into the Hondsbossche Duinen (HBD) — a nature-based coastal defense created through large-scale sand nourishment. Now, more than 10 years later, we return to explore how this project has evolved, what has worked well, and what lessons we can take forward.
On March 26 and 27, the conference will feature a rich program of oral and poster sessions, highlighting cutting-edge research and encouraging lively discussions among participants. Join us at NCK Days 2026 to share your work, exchange ideas, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue on building resilient coasts in the face of climate change. Registration is open until March 6, 2026 — don’t miss your chance to be part of this inspiring event!
Call for Abstracts: We invite you to submit your abstracts for oral and poster presentations at NCK Days 2026. Share your latest research, innovative solutions, and best practices with the NCK community. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of the coastal system, including fieldwork, numerical modeling, conceptual studies, and laboratory experiments. The deadline for abstract submission is 20 February 2026. Visit our Book of Abstracts website for submission guidelines and further information.
