CONFERENCE COMMITTEES
Day
You are cordially invited to attend the International Conference on Geotechnical Engineering (ICGE) which will be held at Hotel Royal Azur in Hammamet, Tunisia on 24 - 26 March 2008. The conference is organised by URIG
(Unité de Recherche Ingénierie Géotechnique).
The ICGE08 represents a nice occasion to address recent research advances,
especially in Soil Behavior, Soil Improvement, Rock Mechanics and Seismic
Risk.
Participants in this event, from more than 28 countries, are awaited to animate
an outstanting scientific debate.
Several institutions will contribute in the success of ICGE08. Particulary
Sponsors, and members of organising, technical and scientific committees,
managed substantial and appreciated efforts.
Welcome to Tunisia (Hammamet) and thanks for your interest in attending
ICGE08.
