Members of the Macedonian Association for Geotechnics (MAG) were actively involved in the 7th European Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference (EYGEC 2025), held in Rijeka, Croatia. The event brought together nearly 50 young geotechnical professionals from across Europe for a vibrant exchange of knowledge and experience.
At the opening session, Prof. Milorad Jovanovski of MAG delivered an inspiring address to young engineers, emphasizing the importance of international collaboration and continued learning. Representing MAG, Mr. Toni Kitanovski presented the paper Shear Wave Velocity Development in Natural Sand under Triaxial Loading, contributing valuable insights to the technical discussions.
This participation underscores MAGs ongoing commitment to supporting young geotechnical professionals by fostering opportunities for visibility, networking, and engagement in the broader international community.
On the Horizon: EUROCK 2026 in Skopje
Looking ahead, MAG will host a major international event: EUROCK 2026 ISRM Regional Symposium, which will take place from 15 to 19 September 2026 in Skopje, Macedonia.
Organized in collaboration with the International Society for Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering (ISRM), the symposium promises to be a key gathering for geotechnical and rock mechanics experts. Young members are encouraged to contribute their work and take part in the technical and cultural exchange.
