GeoMandu 2027, 11th AYGEC and 1st SACG: Mountain Geotechnics for Infrastructure Development

Description:

Nepal Geotechnical Society (NGS) warmly invites geotechnical engineers, geoscientists, professionals, and researchers from around the globe to participate in GeoMandu 2027: An International Conference Series of the Nepal Geotechnical Society. This special edition of the GeoMandu series held in conjunction with the 11th Asian Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference (AYGEC), event of ISSMGE, and the 1st South Asian Conference on Geotechnics (SACG) under Association of Geotechnical Societies of South Asia (AGSSA) will take place in Kathmandu, Nepal, from 17-19 March 2027, under the central theme Mountain Geotechnics for Infrastructure Development.

GeoMandu 2027 together with the 11th AYGEC and 1st SACG, will serve as a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange, technical dialogue, and regional and international collaboration. The conference will bring together experts, researchers, and young professionals to explore innovative approaches that strengthen mountain infrastructure across Asia and beyond.

We extend our heartfelt invitation to join us in the scenic landscapes of Nepal as we collectively advance this important mission. Together, through the motive of 'Redefining Geotechnics for the Mountainous Landforms', we can contribute to building a safer, greener, and more resilient future for generations to come.
