The Young Hydrologic Society (YHS) is an initiative that aims to connect young hydrologists and to stimulate their active participation in the hydrological sciences community. The initiative is currently being set up. During this interactive splinter room meeting we would like to discuss with fellow young hydrologists the most important goals of the initiative.

The session is divided into three parts: (1) Opening and Introduction to the Young Hydrologic Society: here we introduce the initiators and briefly discuss the motivation for this initiative. (2) What we can already deliver: here we discuss our progress and introduce our current deliverables. (3) What would you like the YHS to be?: This is an open discussion about the future direction of the YHS and your involvement in it.

We invite early career hydrologists, MSc and PhD students to participate in this meeting. For more information we refer you to the YHS website www.younghs.com and the YHS LinkedIn group: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=4723306&trk=myg_ugrp_ovr
