Since 2000 he has also served as Deputy Assistant Director-General of the Natural Sciences Sector. He was elected life member of the International Water Academy and serves as a member of the Board of Governors of the World Water Council and as a member of UN-Water.

Dr András Szöllösi-Nagy was born in 1949 in Budapest, Hungary. He holds a Civil Engineering Diploma (1972) and a Doctorate Summa cum Laude in Hydrology and Mathematical Statistics (1975) from the Budapest University of Technology. In 1972 he joined the Water Resources Research Center (VITUKI). Between 1974 and 1976 he was a research scholar at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg, Austria, working for the Water Project and later in the field of environmental research. His principle research fields were time series analysis, stochastic modelling, real-time forecasting and control of water resources systems using recursive algorithms.

In 1981, Dr András Szöllösi-Nagy worked with IBM Italy on the Arno River Forecasting System. He was Visiting Professor at the University of Luleå, Sweden, where he taught stochastic dynamic systems and filtering techniques and in 1983 and 1984, lecturer on computer aided hydrological forecasting at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangkok, Thailand. During this period he worked as a consultant for WMO on hydrological forecasting in Bangladesh, Thailand and Indonesia. He also lectured regularly on hydrological modelling at various UNESCO postgraduate courses in Budapest, Belgrade and Delft and taught statistical hydrology at the Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. Between 1985 and 1989, he was a regular visiting research professor at the Systems Department of the University of Waterloo, Canada. From 1985 to 1989, he held the post of Deputy Director General at the Water Resources Research Center (VITUKI) in Budapest and between 1986 and 1989 was the joint (founding) Editor of the International Journal of Stochastic Hydrology and Hydraulics (Springer) and Editor-in-Chief of the Hidrológiai Közlöny. He also served on the editorial board of Vizügyi Közlemények.

Dr András Szöllösi-Nagy joined UNESCO in 1989 as Director of the Division of Water Sciences and Secretary of the International Hydrological Programme. Between 1999 and 2002 he also served as Coordinator of UNESCO’s environmental programmes (MAB, IOC, IGCP and MOST) and was tasked with UNESCO’s preparations for WSSD. He also served as member of the Steering Committee of the Global Water Partnership and Chair of the World Water Council Publication Committee.

Dr András Szöllösi-Nagy was awarded a Doctor of Science (DSc) degree by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1991. In the same year, he was made a Dr. Habil. by the Budapest University of Technology. In 1992, he was made Professor HC at the Technical University of Budapest and in 1994 full Professor (of Hydrodynamics) at the same institution. Dr Andras Szöllösi-Nagy also serves on the editorial boards of Water Resources Management (Reidel), Environmental Systems, the International Journal of Water PolicyInternational Journal on Landslides (Springer) and the Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (Elsevier), (EOLSS). He has also served as officer of various Committees of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS), the International Association for Hydraulic Research (IAHR), the International Water Resources Association (IWRA) and the International Federation of Information Processing (IFIP). He was Vice-President of ICWS/IAHS, Chairman of the Hungarian IAHS Committee and Chairman of the Hungarian WMO/HOMS National Reference Center. He was made an Honorary Member of the American Water Resources Association and was IWRA Ven-Te-Chow lecturer (1994) and Chester C. Kisiel lecturer (1999). In 2005, he was given the Distinguished Associate Award of the International Association of Hydrogeologists. He has published several books and more than 150 technical papers.
