11ICG call for proposals

The 11th International Conference on Geosynthetics (11ICG), which will be held in Seoul, Korea, Sept. 16–21, 2018, will provide all participants a platform for a meaningful academic, professional, social, and cultural experiences.

Under the theme “Geosynthetics: Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Development,” the 11ICG will cover diverse disciplines of geosynthetics from fundamentals to applications. Considering the diverse range of interests and applications, the organizers have chosen not to limit the scope of the conference to just the theme; rather, the event will facilitate learning and dialogue on the key issues faced by geosynthetics communities throughout the world.

The 11ICG Organizing Committee welcomes proposals for technical sessions, short courses, and training lectures.

The deadline for submission of proposals is Dec. 30, 2016.

Please complete the proposal form and send it to the 11ICG conference secretariat by email:(paper@11icg-seoul.org).
