We are excited to announce that the NCK Days 2026 will take place from 25–27 March in Egmond aan Zee, hosted at Hotel Zuiderduin. This year’s event promises to be an inspiring gathering for researchers and professionals in coastal engineering, geomorphology, and management. Join us for three days of knowledge exchange, networking, and engaging discussions on the latest developments in coastal and estuarine dynamics. Registration will open on January 19 and close on March 6.

On Wednesday, 25 March, we will kick off with an excursion to the Hondsbossche Duinen, a site that tells the story of coastal innovation. Once the Hondsbossche and Pettemer Sea Defence (HPZ), a hard sea dike, it was transformed between 2013 and 2015 into the Hondsbossche Duinen (HBD) — a nature-based coastal defense created through large-scale sand nourishment. Now, more than 10 years later, we return to explore how this project has evolved, what has worked well, and what lessons we can take forward.

On March 26 and 27, the conference will feature a rich program of oral and poster sessions, highlighting cutting-edge research and encouraging lively discussions among participants. The call for abstracts will open on January 19, with a submission deadline of February 20.
