The ISSMGE envisages the creation and sealing of a physical time capsule in 2026. This will be opened in one hundred years from the time of sealing, in 2126.
The physical time capsule will include published printed material and physical objects related to the current and past practices in geotechnical engineering.
The first call for the ISSMGE 2026 Time Capsule is published at the following link:
https://htc.issmge.org/physical-time-capsule
This call is addressed to potential donors who are requested to submit proposals for published material printed on paper only for preservation in the physical time capsule.
Proposals for the first call must be made on the HTC form, accessible through the same webpage, before June 2025.
A second call devoted more specifically to objects will follow in June 2025.
