2016 ISRM International Symposium “EUROCK 2016″

When: 29-31 August, 2016

On behalf of the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM), Turkish National Society for Rock Mechanics cordially invites the international community to attend the 2016 ISRM International Symposium “EUROCK 2016″. The symposium will be held between 29 and 31 August 2016 in Cappadocia (Turkey) which is one of the seven sites included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO and also a natural and historical rock engineering laboratory.

We are honoured and pleased that the Turkish community of rock mechanics has been given the opportunity to host for the first time a EUROCK symposium. It is also a pleasant occasion that EUROCK2016 coincides with the semi-centennial anniversary of the First ISRM International Congress on Rock Mechanics which was held in September 1966, in Lisbon, Portugal.

The theme of the symposium is “Rock Mechanics & Rock Engineering: From the Past to the Future”. The symposium intends to cover all aspects of rock mechanics and rock engineering from theories to engineering practices, emphasizing the future direction of rock engineering technologies. The symposium program contains eight keynote lectures, the 2016 ISRM Franklin Lecture, the 2016 ISRM Rocha Medal Lecture, and 204 papers which were reviewed by the members of the International Scientific and Advisory Committees, who paid prime attention to their eligibility for publication in the Symposium Proceedings and presentation in the Symposium.
