Geo Events

A half-day seminar, 1:00 – 4:30 pm, at Imperial College followed by the Rankine lecture.

The Rankine Lecture is widely viewed as the most prestigious of the invited lectures in geotechnics. This will be held as an in-person event and will be webcast live. A viewing link will be available on the day of the event. This year Rankine Lecturer John Carter is a civil engineering graduate of the University of Sydney, Australia. He is an Emeritus Professor and former Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dean of Engineering at the University of Newcastle in New South Wales. He is also a former director of the geotechnical consultancy, Advanced Geomechanics (now Fugro AG), registered in Perth, Western Australia.

The Hellenic Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (HSSMGE) invites to participate in the 8th International Conference on Unsaturated Soils.

This international conference is one of the series of conferences “Underground Construction Prague”, which are held regularly every three years. Due to the pandemic, this year has been postponed by one year. Participants of past conferences enjoyed the scientific programme, venue and social programme. The conferences have been attended by distinguished international experts in the field and we look forward to prominent guests also in 2023. For these reasons, “Underground Construction Prague” can be considered as one of the key events of 2023 in the discipline of underground construction.

The theme of the Conference is: European Geotechnical Engineering – Unity and diversity meaning to get together the Danube – European countries, each one with its specificity and finding the way for having unified practices within the European context. The general objectives of 17DECGE are to disseminate the knowledge and the national practices toward all stakeholders in the field, to approach both research and practical topics, but also trans-disciplinary ones and to ensure a forum of discussion for all.

The theme of the conference is "Hightlighting the role of Environmental Geotechnics in Addressing Global Grand Challenges" and will highlight the leadership role of Geoenvironmental Engineers play on tackling our society's grand challenges.

The conference covers all aspects related to debris flows, from the efforts towards understanding their mechanical behaviour, to mitigation and risk assessment procedures. The conference topics will be collected into seven thematic sessions. We will line up a comprehensive program with keynote speakers from industry, academia, and government. There will be oral presentations during morning and early afternoon sessions, and poster presentations during two lengthy afternoon sessions that will include an aperitivo buffet!

The objective of the conference is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas and discussions on topics related to different forms of numerical modelling in geotechnical engineering. Both senior and young researchers, scientists and practitioners from Europe and overseas are warmly invited to attend this conference to share and exchange their knowledge.

The theme of the symposium is data-centric solutions for reshaping the next generation geo-industries and the symposium is hosted by ISSMGE Technical Committee of Machine Learning & Big Data (TC309).

The main objectives of this symposium are research and development in advanced laboratory geotechnical testing
- methods and results to represent in situ conditions
- integrate information from laboratory and field testing, including geophysical testing
- load controlled tests in geomaterials that can experience softening
Demonstration of practical engineering applications will be made.

The conference is recommended for theoreticians and practitioners dealing with the designing, construction, and exploitation of hydraulic structures. The conference will be held in a hybrid formula – stationary in Hotel Diament Arsenal Palace in Chorzów (Poland) and online via a streaming platform.

The 9th International Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics Conference continues the aims of this established series of disseminating and communicating the latest developments in all aspects of marine geotechnology.

Geosynthetics: leading the way to a resilient planet. The conference topics will address through general and parallel sessions the most recent developments in geosynthetics, stimulating fruitful technical and scientific interaction within professionals.

The 15th ISRM Congress will be held in conjunction with the 72nd Geomechanics Colloquium in Salzburg, the city where the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) was founded in 1962.

Besides the five usual themes of GEOTEC HANOI series, i.e., Deep foundations, Tunnelling and underground spaces, Ground improvement, Geotechnical modelling and monitoring, Landslide and erosion, one new and imperative topic on sustainable development, namely Offshore Wind Power and Coastal Geotechnics is also included.
