Smart Rivers

The 2013 edition of the Strategic Maritime Asset Research and Transformation Rivers Conference for 21st Century Rivers Systems, in short, SMART Rivers Conference, will take place from 23 – 27 September 2013 in two neighbouring cities; Liège in Belgium and Maastricht in the Netherlands.

The two cities present a unique setting and perfect context for the SMART Rivers Conference as they are merely a few kilometers apart and connected by a major trans-boundary inland waterway axis, the Meuse river.

This biennial forum brings together those involved in river transport from countries all over the world. It will be jointly organized by the PIANC National Sections of Belgium and the Netherlands, with major sponsors in the field of inland waterway transport and with the support of local authorities, as well as the Walloon, Flemish and Dutch Waterway Authorities.
