11th European Conference on Numerical Methods in Geotechnical Engineering
Description
The 11th European Conference on Numerical Methods in Geotechnical Engineering (NUMGE 2027) will take place in Graz, Austria, from 21st - 24th of September 2027.
Organized by ERTC7 (European Regional Technical Committee 7 for Numerical Methods) under the auspices of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), NUMGE has been a key conference series since its inception in 1986 (Stuttgart, Germany). Over the years, it has been hosted in various European cities, including Santander (1990), Manchester (1994), Udine (1998), Paris (2002), Graz (2006), Trondheim (2010), Delft (2014), Porto (2018), and most recently, London (2023).
NUMGE 2027 will serve as a vital platform for academics, researchers, and engineering professionals to exchange insights on the latest advancements and challenges in numerical methods applied to geotechnical engineering. The conference will foster discussions on cutting-edge developments, practical applications, and future directions in this rapidly evolving field.
We look forward to welcoming you to Graz for an engaging and inspiring event!

Additional Information
Authors are invited to submit abstracts on a wide range of topics, as outlined below. We particularly encourage contributions featuring case studies, numerical analysis-driven design, and the automation of workflows in geotechnical engineering. Topics of interest include: • Constitutive modeling for saturated and unsaturated soils • Numerical methods: finite element, finite difference, discrete element, material point, and others • Coupled analysis techniques • Geotechnical earthquake engineering • Probabilistic approaches and inverse analysis • Applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence • Design and analysis of dams, embankments, and slopes • Excavations and retaining structures • Shallow and deep foundation systems • Tunneling and mining applications • Soil reinforcement and ground improvement techniques • Offshore geotechnical engineering • Geo-energy and energy geotechnics • Regulations, standards, and design codes • Interpretation of geotechnical data and model parameter identification • Uncertainty quantification and reliability assessment
