Coastlines under Global Change

The International Coastal Symposium (ICS) is currently celebrating its 17th edition and 34th anniversary. This meeting in particular will be making a historic milestone. For the very first time, the ICS will take place in the Middle East, with Doha, Qatar, as its distinguished host. Notably, Doha had the honor of hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2022, further highlighting its global appeal.

The ICS2024 will be hosted by the University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST), which is recognized for its student-centered learning and state-of-the-art facilities. It is also home to the UNESCO Chair in TVET and Sustainable Development and host of Qatar’s UNESCO-UNEVOC Centre.

The ICS brings together delegates from all over the world to collaborate and discuss the most current coastal research studies and projects. The proceedings of the conference are published as peer-reviewed papers in the Journal of Coastal Research (JCR), which represents an invaluable resource for coastal scientists, engineers, managers, and researchers.

We welcome you all and look forward to seeing everyone in Doha for ICS2024.
