The next DFSI dredging course set for January

For professionals involved in activities for water infrastructure development, IADC and CEDA are holding a new edition of the Dredging for Sustainable Infrastructure course.

Taking place in Scandinavia, the course will be held from 28-30 January 2025 in Copenhagen (Denmark) with the support of DHI.

In this 2.5-day course, participants will learn how to execute dredging projects that meet essential functional requirements, whilst at the same time enhancing natural and socio-economic systems.

They will gain insights into these systems within the dredging context and develop skills for effective stakeholder engagement throughout the project’s lifecycle.

“Like the book it’s based on, this course fills an important gap by providing professionals with practical guidance on implementing the innovative approaches that have reshaped dredging over the past decade,” said Mieke van Loenen, General Manager of CEDA.

“Engineers, ecologists, environmental and social scientists, regulators, and financiers alike will leave this course equipped with valuable new insights and practical knowledge that can be immediately applied in their work,” said Rene Kolman, Secretary General of IADC.

The course is essential for professionals who aim to develop sustainable and resilient water infrastructure projects with a dredging component that supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Those involved in designing or executing projects like port development, river deepening, and flood defence – as well as professionals in government, port authorities, consulting firms, dredging companies, NGOs, suppliers, and shipbuilders – will find this course highly beneficial.
