TFH – ISEGSD BOCHUM 2009
BOCHUM, NORDRHEIN WESTFALEN (NRW), GERMANY
September 07 - 11, 2009
The International Symposium
on Environmental Geotechnology and Sustainable Development is a special intermediate year conference launched by the International
Society for Environmental Geotechnology (ISEG) led by the Faculty of Geoengineering
and Mining, University of Applied Sciences TFH Georg Agricola Bochum. This
will be the first ISEG international symposium in Germany. The participants
in this “International Symposium” will come from Australia, Austria,
Brazil, China, Finland, Poland, Slovenia, USA and many other countries. From
all of these countries, there will be international experts, practitioners,
scientists and local experts with the focus on the presentation and analysis
of state-of-the-art techniques in Environmental Geotechnology with the objective
of applying them to projects in Sustainable Development. At this symposium,
there will be an exhibition on innovative materials, methods and equipment
by the private sector and agencies. Our local companies will give an overview
of their products, services and technology. It will be our pleasure and great
honour to welcome you to Germany, through this event at the TFH Georg Agricola,
