This Forum will include a mid-term review of the ISDR-ICL Sendai Partnerships, voluntary contribution to the Sendai Framework 2015-2030 and the Agenda 2030 – Sustainable Development Goals, especially Goal 11 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Participants of the Fourth World Landslide Forum adopted the 2017 Ljubljana Declaration on Landslide Risk Reduction – contributing to the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. The Declaration proposes the Kyoto 2020 Commitment for Global Promotion of Understanding and Reducing Landslide Disaster Risk to be finalized during the preparatory activities for WLF5 and adopted during WLF5 in order to serve this purpose. The Commitment aims to establish in the medium and long term a global alliance that will accelerate and incentivize action for landslide risk reduction.

GeoMEast 2020 will provide a showcase for recent developments and advancements in design, construction, and safety inspections of sustainable structures, underground structures and transportation infrastructures, and offer a forum to discuss and debate future directions for the 21st century.

Battelle’s Sediments Conference series is a forum for sharing research results, practical experiences, and opportunities associated with investigating, remediating, and restoring the environmental and economic vitality of waterways. Managing these aquatic systems requires complex actions that affect a diverse group of stakeholders and touch a wide range of environmental, economic, political and social issues.

Battelle’s Bioremediation Symposium is a forum for sharing research results, practical experiences, and opportunities associated with advances in bioremediation and green and sustainable practices in remediation; the development, implementation, use, and results of advanced tools for assessment and monitoring; and the challenges of applying bioremediation at various types of complex sites. Treatment technologies for emerging contaminants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are also examined.

As in the previous editions, the conference topics will address trough general and parallel sessions the most recent developments in rock mechanics, stimulations fruitful technical and scientific interaction within the fields of rock mechanics, rock engineering and engineering geology. The programme includes workshops dedicated to innovative topics, Keynotes lectures delivered by distinguished speakers and a series of technical visit that coupled scientific topics with cultural, touristic and eno – gastronomical aspects.

Sustainability is considered to be a top priority for all mankind by United Nations. With that goal in mind, ISSMGE technical committee TC 307, aims to monitor, produce and disseminate information regarding the contribution of geotechnical design and construction to a sustainable development. This contribution includes adopting environment-friendly, cost-effective and socially-acceptable choices. The first conference on sustainability in geotechnical engineering is being organized in line with United Nations concerns.

The theme of ICSMGE 2021 is “A Geotechnical Discovery Downunder – Geotechnical Diversity Awaits You”. Discover Australia and discover the innovation that lies where practical problems meet leading theoretical developments. ICSMGE 2021 will focus on the application of theory and the discovery that comes when world-class minds are focussed on the geotechnical problems facing our world. Our conference program and technical sessions reflect this emphasis on applications, and are designed to trigger collaboration, innovation and discovery from a diverse group of participants.

3ECEES is aiming at providing a creative and stimulating environment for sharing and tackling the most challenging topics of global importance and interest in Earthquake Engineering and Seismology.
