Geotech Asia 2025 — 1st Geotech Asia International Conference

The Asian Regional Geotechnical Engineering Conferences (ARCs) have been held every four years. Recently, it was decided to increase the frequency to every two years. This change aims to provide more opportunities for researchers, practitioners, academicians, students, and professionals to share developments, collaborate and exchange ideas, encouraging broader participation across Asia. To support this, the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), in consultation with Asian Member Societies, introduced a new series of regional conferences called Geotech Asia. These will be held every four years between the ARCs. The Indian Geotechnical Society (IGS), which hosted the first ARC in 1960, is proud to host the inaugural Geotech Asia in 2025 at the Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon, Goa, with IIT Bombay and IGS Mumbai Chapter as collaborators.
