2020-12-20

Updated on 6 January 2021

Just about everybody in the dredging community knows CEDA Dredging Days: the Flagship Event of the Central Dredging Association (CEDA). They know it for its scientifically sound programme and high-quality technical papers. We have listened carefully to feedback from CEDA members, and other stakeholders in the world of dredging, and we are proud to announce that a newly revamped Dredging Days will be back with a vengeance in September 2021.

The preliminary programme features a unique mix of what was good in the past and what is needed for the future. 

Under the title "Sustainable Dredging and Innovation. The science. The practice. The business.", CEDA Dredging Days 2021 will have a strong focus on innovative solutions in dredging. Content will range from new technologies to the way we do business, all conceived with a clear ‘sustainability stamp’.

The conference technical programme will feature both academic and practice-oriented presentations, in parallel tracks, in a variety of formats, as well as keynotes and high-level panel discussions. In addition to the technical content, the conference programme will include a business exchange session, designed to involve all participants, and explore reciprocal opportunities. For more details see our announcement on CEDA News.
