12th International Conference on Geosynthetics - 12 ICG (Roma, 18-22/09/2022) - scadenza invio abstract: 31/01/2021

12 ICG is online!

With great pleasure and honour the Italian Geotechnical Society (AGI) and the Italian Chapter of IGS (AGI-IGS) invite you to attend the 12th International Conference on Geosynthetics, 12 ICG, which will be held in Roma, Italy, from 18 to 22 September 2022.

Years after the successful EuroGeo 2, which was held in Bologna in October 2000, we cordially welcome your participation and kind support at this coming event in 2022.

The geosynthetics and geotechnical engineering community has reached full awareness over the last two decades, and the whole geosynthetics industry has focused on the sustainable use of geosynthetics in a variety of innovative as well as consolidated applications. After Sustainability, the ability to overcome the natural events effects, often related to climate change, and human activities forced to refer to a new keyword: Resiliency.

Hence 12 ICG intends to become the base for the next step and the conference theme will be:

Geosynthetics, Leading the Way to a Resilient Planet.

The conference topics will address, through general and parallel sessions, keynote lectures and invited presentation, the most recent developments in geosynthetics, stimulating fruitful technical and scientific interaction among academicians, professionals, manufacturers, students.

We believe that 12 ICG will provide an excellent opportunity to present recent experience and developments to an audience of engineers, geologists and consultants, public and private contractors, local national and international authorities, and to all those involved in research and practice related to geosynthetics.

Do not miss the largest conference on geosynthetics in the world!

Conference Venue

The conference will be held at Auditorium Parco della Musica, situated at the heart of a budding cultural quarter in Roma, and designed by the iconic Italian architect Renzo Piano. The Auditorium is the biggest multifunctional complex in Europe and the second “cultural factory” of the world after the Lincoln Center of NY. Moreover, the Auditorium hosts an ancient Villa dated 300 BC and a Museum making the Auditorium a real archaeological site.

Roma

The “Eternal City” does not need to be introduced, being one of the most attractive and emblematic locations in the world, thanks to its impressive architectural heritage, must-visit Museums, pleasant weather and its extraordinary social life, and the best taste of the Italian food.
Roma has just about the richest, fullest history of any town on earth, thanks to its unique position in the world’s greatest Empire, its significance as a religious and cultural centre, its turbulent centuries of aristocratic and papal rivalries and upheaval and along the way acquiring some of the finest art and architecture to survive from the last two thousand years.

See you in 2022!
