Conference Theme

THE INAUGURAL CONFERENCE THEME 2026
BRIDGING BORDERS: GEOTECHNICAL CHALLENGES AND INNOVATIONS ACROSS THE MEDITERRANEAN

With this theme, we highlight the unique geotechnical challenges faced by countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea while emphasizing collaboration, knowledge exchange, and innovative solutions. This theme also reflects the conference’s location in Beirut, a city known for its historical significance and strategic position as a cultural and economic hub in the region.

It aligns well with the diverse backgrounds and expertise of attendees from Mediterranean countries, fostering discussions on common issues such as seismic risks, coastal engineering, infrastructure development, and sustainable construction practices. Additionally, it underscores the importance of cross-border cooperation in addressing shared geotechnical challenges and advancing the field collectively.

This theme sets the stage for insightful discussions, networking opportunities, and knowledge sharing among geotechnical engineering professionals, researchers, and industry stakeholders attending the conference in Beirut.
