TIME CAPSULE PROJECT (TCP) - Informal "showcases" to start in November 2021

The Time Capsule Project (TCP) aims to create and sustain a conversation about the past, present and future of geotechnical engineering to the benefit of our over 20,000 members. Contributions from all sectors of the ISSMGE, including legacy material, will be held and promoted through an online platform. This platform will be formally launched at the 20th ICSMGE (1-5 May 2022).

From November 2021 onwards, a series of informal and engaging "showcases" will be hosted to enable contributors to learn from each other's experience. Even draft contributions can be presented so we can learn from each other. The concept is novel and exciting even for us in the TCP Design Team!

For further information, please make contact with TCP Design Team directly or through the form available at: https://www.issmge.org/the-society/time-capsule
