The International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation (IRTCES) exhibition in the EGU General Assembly 2017 was a great success.

Dr. Paige Chyu and Mr. Ping Gan, the representatives of IRTCES attended the Assembly from April 23 - 29, 2017 in Vienna, Austria. A special booth with number 217 was set up to promote the activities of WASWAC and WASER, and also to enhance the visibility of the Journal of International Soil and Water Conservation Research (ISWCR,the official journal of WASWAC) and the International Journal of Sediment Research (IJSR, the official journal of WASER) in the scientific community.

The EGU General Assembly is a prominent annual event that brings together geoscientists from all over the world into one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences. In this year, there were 14,496 scientists from 107 countries at the conference.

During the exhibition, the mission of WASWAC and WASER have been introduced and the recent activities have been showed. The samples of ISWCR and IJSR have been displayed.

A highlighted review paper that was recently published on ISWCR by Prof. Marking Nearing has been promoted as the lights pot of our exhibition.

During the exhibition, we have also exchanged and discussed the development of the WASWAC and ISWCR with numbers of scientists working in soil and water conservation related fields.

We thank all editorial member, members of council, and ordinary members of WASWAC and WASER who stop by our booth. Thanks so much not only for your showing up at our booth but also for your active contributions to the associations and the Journals.
