MUDNET2026 : Mudnet conference 2026
The 2nd MUDNET Conference is meant as an interdisciplinary platform for discussion between stakeholders and scientists interested in the complex properties of fine-grained sediment (mud). It focuses on sediment management and its challenges in European ports, and on the specific aspects of the complex behaviour of mud in natural systems. These aspects are grouped under different topics related to rheology, biology, acoustics and hydraulics. The conference strengthens the link between fundamental research and applied engineering practice and creates opportunities for collaboration on topics such as low-density sediments, operational decision support, sustainable dredging strategies, and adaptive management to ensure environmental compliance within marine projects. The event will be a forum for leading researchers and industrial partners, to share ideas, discuss challenges and consider potential solutions for sediment and mud related issues, to improve sediment managements in ports and waterways, and provide healthy ecosystems in marine environments. For this aim, researchers and stakholders have to develop predictive models and protocols, based on in-situ monitoring and complementary lab analysis forSmart and Sustainable port maintenance. The event will be be held in the university Le Havre Normandie on september 28 - 30.
