TheTC306’s upcoming online conference on Geotechnical Engineering Education GEE 2020 will be held on June 23-25, 2020.

During the conference, there will be pre-recorded lectures from 6 distinguished speakers, 3 from geotechnical engineering (Mark Jaksa, Rodrigo Salgado, Minna Karstunen) and 3 from education (Susan Ambrose, Ton de Jong, Vasilia Christidou). In addition to the papers by the invited speakers, conference proceedings include 23 papers, which have already been uploaded to ISSMGE’s online library.

The program on Wednesday 24/6 and Thursday 25/6 closes with invited presentations in 2 live panel sessions on the topics “Geo-engineering education papers: scope, characteristics and use” (24/6) and “Building a community of scholarly education practice” (25/6), followed by discussion.

Depending on time constraints and how actively you would like to participate, you may choose between two registration types:

220 euros, interactive participant: attend all conference sessions, interact with presenters and panel members, access the written forum and watch all pre-recorded sessions on demand until July 15
