Program
A lively, vigorous format, aiming to stimulate delegates to actively participate in conference sessions, as well as to promote discussion and blend in of ideas & expertise between different disciplines.The 9th International Congress on Environmental Geotechnics, which is the premier conference series in Environmental Geotechnics under the Auspices of the Technical Committee “Environmental Geotechnics” (TC215) of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), will be held on 25-28 June 2023 on the beautiful island of Crete in Greece. The conference theme “Highlighting the Role of Environmental Geotechnics in Addressing Global Challenges” will bring together international leaders in environmental geotechnics and will cover a wide range of topics that relate to advances in research and practice with a focus on safeguarding the geoenvironment, energy and resource harvesting, combating climate change and responding to natural hazards. See the conference themes below.

TECHNICAL SESSIONS
delivered to all participants by internationally renowned experts/academics.
running daily and in parallel focusing on specific research fields
covering hot topics of Environmental Geotechnics (including theme talks by distinguished lecturers, round-table discussions and paper presentations). The 9ICEG is welcoming the submission of proposals or Special Sessions.
CALL FOR SESSIONS
We invite you to propose a technical session that fits the conference theme. To do so, please submit a proposal to secretary@iceg2023.org. The proposal should include a description of the session along with the expected papers for the session. Authors of the session papers will need to submit an abstract by the abstract deadline.
