Visiting Scholar Program

Throughout its history, the Institute for Water Resources (IWR) has invited preeminent water resources academicians and practitioners to take up residence at the Institute to foster scholarly exchange.   While most such engagements have been project specific, the success of past collaborations has led to the Institute establishing several standing in-residence visiting scholar programs with appointments formerly dedicated to specific water resources research chairs.
