SUT OSIG 9th International Conference, “Innovative Geotechnologies for Energy Transition”

The SUTs Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics (OSIG) committee is pleased to announce that its 9th international conference, Innovative Geotechnologies for Energy Transition, will take place from 12^th to 14^th September 2023 at Imperial College in South Kensington, London. The conference is the longest standing conference series of this type, bringing together the international offshore Geotechnical, Geophysical & Geoscientific industry & academic communities to share the latest research, knowledge and experience at this important period of Energy Transition from hydrocarbon to renewable sources.

The conference will host the 6th ISSMGE McClelland lecture, Great Hall ICL  to be delivered by Prof Richard Jardine on the evening of Tuesday 12^th September, and the conference dinner will be held at the Natural History Museum on the evening of Wednesday 13^th September.

The Technical Programme for the conference includes ten Keynote address’ and over two hundred and fifty conference papers. Further details can be found on the website below and Keynotes are:
