Netherlands Centre for Coastal Research
We are thrilled to announce that the NCK Days 2025 will be held from 19-21 March 2025 at Topshuis, Oosterscheldekering, organized by Rijkswaterstaat. This year's event promises to be an electrifying gathering for researchers and professionals in coastal engineering and management.
On Wednesday, March 19th, we will kick off with an exhilarating field trip, offering an exclusive look inside the Oosterscheldekering. The following two days will be packed with dynamic oral and poster sessions.
Coastal engineering has evolved dramatically, moving from traditional barriers to solutions like sand nourishments and seagrass meadows. But is our toolbox diverse and tested enough? Are new tools needed? Is our knowledge sufficient for applying the available models? Join us at the NCK Days 2025 to share your research, exchange ideas, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue on making our coasts resilient in the face of climate change. The registration is open until March 4, 2025.
Call for Abstracts: We invite you to submit your abstracts for oral and poster presentations. Share your cutting-edge research, innovative solutions, and best practices with the NCK community. We welcome contributions covering fieldwork, numerical modelling, conceptualization, lab experiments, and more, addressing the full coastal system. The deadline for abstract submission is 31 January 2025. Visit our Book of Abstracts-website for submission guidelines and more information.

There are two theme days on the agenda again.
- On October 16th 2024 the NCK and NCR jointly organize a knowledge-sharing day at Deltares focused on the intersection of river and coastal dynamics: specifically, the Rhine Meuse estuary and the latest insights into the salt and sediment balances within this system.
- On November 20th 2024 a theme day on Remote Sensing for the coastal zone will take place at the National Museum of Ethnology (Wereldmuseum Leiden, voorheen Volkenkunde).
Registration are open (go to 'Upcoming Events' and register now).
