– Environmental change and groundwater
– Sustainable groundwater resource & management
– Groundwater & surface water: an integrated view
– Coastal aquifer management
– Groundwater quality & contamination
– Groundwater and energy
– Challenges for the deep geo-environment
– Advanced tools & techniques for hydrogeology
– Groundwater, society & policy

Pre-congress training courses and excursions are currently being planned. Mid-congress excursions are proposed to limestone caves, a national geopark, curative springs, a wetland conservation area and the national groundwater information centre. There wil also be seceral post congress tours for participants to enjoy Korea’s cultural heritage.
