The first international conference on rock mass classification will be held in Oslo, Norway in 2024. The conference will cover comparing and correlating rock mass classification systems, sustainability, demographic change, digital methods and modern technology and the future of rock mass classification.

This conference aims to bring together researchers and engineers around the world to discuss the recent advances in geotechnical engineering.

The conference and attendees will provide a strong link with soil mechanics, with presentations by high selected speakers, technical-scientific parallel sessions, one-day workshops and site visits.

The third International Slope Stability on Mining Conference (SSIM 2023) provides a convention for mining practitioners, consultants, and researchers to exchange knowledge on state-of-the-art slope technologies.

The Introduction to Open Pit Slope Stability will be held 17-21 April 2023 in Perth Western Australia.

Ground Support 2023 will cover the latest developments and applications of ground support in mining where the objective is to mitigate rockfall. The series of events has evolved over the years to cover all areas of mining related ground support and provide a documented timeline of the significant advancements in ground support technology and practice in the last 38 years. These are reflected in the improved safety statistics and performance of excavations.

Abstract submissions are due April 14, 2023 via ProMPT

The series of International Conferences on Mine Closure is a fixture on the calendars of many mining professionals, providing topical and high quality papers and presentations on a range of topics of immediate interest and relevance.

The International Conference on Geotechnical Engineering aims to bring together professional, researchers and scholars to discuss the latest innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges and solutions.

Helping shape the conference, prospective author submissions of abstracts, papers and e-posters is encouraged.

The conference subjects will cover the most recent advancements in geosynthetics through general and parallel sessions, encouraging productive technical and scientific interaction among professionals. We think the 12th ICG will be a great chance to share latest knowledge and advancements with a group of engineers, geologists, consultants, public and private contractors, local, national, and worldwide authorities, as well as all those engaged in geosynthetics-related research and practice.

Final Papers submission (camera-ready) deadline: 30 March, 2023. Instructions and templates can be found here.

The SUTs Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics (OSIG) committee is pleased to announce that its 9th international conference, Innovative Geotechnologies for Energy Transition, will take place from 12-14 September 2023 at Imperial College in South Kensington, London. This conference continues the aims of this established series of disseminating and communicating the latest developments in all aspects of marine geotechnology.

This symposium will focus on the understanding of the deformation properties of geomaterials before failure, especially on the small-strain stiffness parameters as fundamental characteristics of geomaterials, and their implications in geotechnical design. Key themes include experimental investigations from very small strains to beyond failure; behaviour, characterization and modelling of various geomaterials and interfacess; and practical prediction and interpretation of ground response: field observation and case histories.

The theme of the symposium is data-centric solutions for reshaping the next generation geo-industries. The symposium is hosted by ISSMGE Technical Committee of Machine Learning & Big Data, providing a conference proceeding of extended abstracts.

Key dates:

• Bright Spark Lecture Award : 28th February 2023

• 2 Page Abstract Submission - 31st March 2023

• Notification of Acceptance - 15th April 2023

The 17th ARC on geotechnical engineering includes plenary, keynote, technical oral and post sessions as well as a technical exposition and technical tours for better disseminating findings and best practices.
