Open HYPE Course 2026

September 14-16, 2026 online and in Norrköping, Sweden

The course describes multi-basin hydrological modelling using HYPE at the local/regional scale. It is organized by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI).

Content

The course provides an introduction to the HYPE model and introduces SMHI’s global HYPE set-up WW-HYPE (WW-HYPE). WW-HYPE builds on open global and regional data sources. We are aiming to collaboratively improve WW-HYPE, which is why participants can apply for WW-HYPE sub-models for their areas of interest after the course.

This year’s course consists of lectures and exercises on the following themes (preliminary, subject to changes):

HYPE model overview
HYPE model process description
Building and using HYPE model applications: Setup and data files, available tools
WW-HYPE model introduction: Set-up, performance
HYPE calibration: Strategies for large-scale hydrological model setups and available calibration routines
Data Assimilation
Water quality modelling with HYPE: Process description and model setup

The course itself is free of cost, however, you need to cover all other costs associated with in-person attendance yourself.
We cannot offer any financial support for in-person attendance.

We particularly welcome women and people from other underrepresented groups in hydrology to join the course!

Registration

Registration is open until 12 June.

Note: Online participation is reserved for people outside of Sweden. Please only sign up for in-person attendance if you have the resources to actually travel to Norrköping (Sweden).
