Invitation

On behalf of the ISSMGE, the Polish Committee on Geotechnics and Gdansk University of Technology (Department of Geotechnics, Geology and Maritime Engineering) we invite you to participate in the 11th Baltic Sea Geotechnical Conference, which will be held in Gdansk, 15-18 September 2008.

The goals and scope of the conference

The 11th Baltic Sea Geotechnical Conference is devoted to onshore and offshore maritime engineering. These activities are still developing rapidly all over the world. Construction problems always occur in association with complexities related to geotechnical conditions. Geotechnical design in maritime engineering requires knowledge of many aspects of soil-structure interaction as well as the behaviour of different types of soils. Years of practice by individual engineers and researchers in this discipline has produced a great deal of valuable knowledge. Therefore it is very important to exchange such experiences at an international level.

Venue and accomodation

The Conference will be held in the centre of Gdansk in the hall of the Gdansk University of Technology main building.
We offer accommodation in two very attractive hotels in Gdańsk: Hotel Hevelius, located in the Old Town and Hotel Oliwski, located in another scenic part of Gdansk. Accommodation can also be provided at the Students’ Hall of Residence as well as at other hotels.
