TSMR 2026 -
Sediment transport and river morphodynamics
June 10 - 12, 2026 - Grenoble, France
- June 10 - 12, 2026
The TSMR is a national conference organized every 4 years, bringing together all public and private players involved in solid transport and morphodynamics. Previous editions have been held in Tours, Lyon and Paris. This new edition is scheduled for June 2026 at Inrae Grenoble, in partnership with the Société Hydrotechnique de France SHF.
The aim of these days is to bring together scientists, technicians and managers to discuss recent developments in knowledge, tools and practices.
