6th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering

Following the highly successful conferences in Tokyo 1995, Lisbon 1999, Berkeley 2004, Thessaloniki 2007 and Santiago 2011, the Technical Committee on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (TC203) of ISSMGE is happy to announce the the sixth International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering, which will take place from the 2nd to the 5th of November 2015 in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The 6ICEGE will provide an excellent opportunity for earthquake and geotechnical engineers, geologists and seismologists, consulting engineers, public and private contractors, city and national authorities, and all those involved with engineering works and research related to earthquake geotechnical engineering, to exchange ideas and present their recent experience and developments.
