  1. ISSMGE INTERACTIVE TECHNICAL TALKS: A NEW EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVE BY THE PRESIDENT OF ISSMGE

The President of ISSMGE Dr. Marc Ballouz has just launched a new educational initiative titled ISSMGE Interactive Technical Talks (IITT). It represents a series of technical talks to bring together geo professionals from around the world, young and renowned, from both the academia and the industry, to discuss a certain subject of geotechnical engineering.  For more information and to view the first episode please go to https://www.issmge.org/news/issmge-interactive-technical-talks-a-new-educational-initiative-by-the-president-of-issmge.

  1. ISSMGE TC309 Technical Forum of Young Scholars on Data-driven Modelling of Soil Behaviours with Geotechnical Applications

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, in cooperation with ISSMGE TC309, is organising a half day Technical Forum of young scholars on Data-driven Modelling of Soil Behaviours with Geotechnical Applications on 25 November 2022. The event will be conducted online.

Machine learning assisted data-driven modelling has emerged as an alternative to complement current methods of modelling soil behaviours. This Forum will provide a platform for academics and practitioners to share insights and experience gained from research and practice. The Forum focuses on three themes, namely (1) Data-driven modelling of soil behaviours, (2) Physics-informed data-driven models, (3) Applications of data-driven models to geotechnical engineering practice.
