Notice of the 13th International Conference on Geosynthetics (13ICG)

Release date: April 16, 2025 10:33

The 13th International Conference on Geosynthetics (13ICG) will be held in Montreal, Canada from September 13th to 17th, 2026. The conference, with the theme of "Inheritance, Evolution, and Innovation of Geosynthetics", is hosted by the International Geosynthetics Society North America (IGS-NA). It will bring together over 1000 top civil engineers, researchers, industry experts, material manufacturers, and experts in sustainable development and climate change. The conference will focus on the application of geosynthetics in sustainable development, transportation infrastructure, climate change response, mining, energy, environmental protection, and other fields for several days of technical exchanges, engineering practice sharing, and commercial cooperation discussions. We warmly welcome domestic experts, scholars, scientists, and entrepreneurs engaged in geosynthetic material engineering design, construction, scientific research, education, product manufacturing, and related technologies to actively submit papers and participate in the conference.
