Conference Theme

The geotechnical challenges that the world faces are getting increasingly complex and interrelated.

In order to develop a renewed commitment with the engineering core values and ethics in this time of rapid and defying changes, the title of the Conference is:

CHALLENGES OF GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING TO MEET CURRENT AND EMERGING SOCIETY NEEDS

We are having a glimpse of the New Engineering age, which demands a better knowledge of problems and solutions and imposes a more proficient management of natural resources.

Case Histories, that always give us an opportunity to learn from success and failure, are welcome to foster the synergy between Academicians and Practitioners. The intellect of Man is forced to choose perfection in both life and work.
