This is the fifth international symposium by the auspices of Technical Committee 105 (Geomechanics from Micro to Macro) of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE).

The conference top for the 14th International Symposium on Landslides is proposed to be ‘landslides across the scale: from the fundamentals to engineering applications

This symposium intended to highlight the various contributions of Coulomb's theory to geotechnics. It will give the opportunity to French and European experts to testify to the importance of the legacy of Coulomb's work in today's geotechnics, including in its most recent developments. During the symposium the annual honorary lecture "Coulomb Lecture" will be presented by Professor Robertson.
