The Ishihara Lecture was established in 2004 by the TC203 and ISSMGE, and is the premier award of TC203. It pays homage to the signicant scientic and professional achievements of Kenji Ishihara. The recipient of the Ishihara Lecture is invited to deliver their lecture and associated keynote paper during an International Conference organized by TC203 (ICEGE or PBD Conference series) or the ISSMGE.
TC203 has been publishing the Ishihara lecture papers in Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, and aims to continue this practice.

The TC203 Young Researcher Award was established in 2012 to recognise early-career scientists and engineers (not exceeding the age of 40) who have exceptional promise for excellence in research and significant contributions in the field of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. The biennial award is presented to recipients at the following TC203 conference (either the ICEGE or the PBD).

Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering Guidance Modules
The main purpose of the guidelines is to improve engineering practice and increase the seismic performance of buildings and infrastructure.
The guidelines have been prepared, primarily, for the use of practising geotechnical engineers but may be of interest to other engineers and council officials.
