The International Conference on Estuaries and Coasts (ICEC) is a series of academic events initiated by IRTCES. Held once every three years, the conference has been successfully hosted in Hangzhou and Guangzhou (China), Sendai (Japan), Hanoi (Vietnam), Muscat (Oman), Caen (France), and Shanghai (China) since 2003, with its international influence steadily growing.

ICEC provides a platform for global scholars to discuss and exchange insights. Abstract submission will open in November 2023. Researchers and graduate students interested in the above topics are encouraged to submit abstracts and participate in the conference.
