XIII INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON LANDSLIDES – CARTAGENA 2020

THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON LANDSLIDES - CARTAGENA 2020

In association with the Joint Technical Committee on Natural Slopes and Landslides (JTC1) and the Federation of International Geo-engineering Societies: ISSMGE, ISRM and IAEG (FedIGS), the Colombian Geotechnical Society (CGS) invites the international geotechnical community to participate in the International Symposium on Landslides at Cartagena.

A call for papers is currently underway. The deadline for submission of papers has been extended to February 17, 2020. A full manuscript (4 to 8 pages in length, abstract included) is expected, no later than February 14, through the ISSMGE's Conference Review Platform.

Those interested in submitting papers for the conference are requested to visit the website and register. For further details click here

The account credentials should be used to access the platform for subsequent submittals.
