The TC101 of the ISSMGE is pleased to announce the 7th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials to be held in 2019 in Glasgow. The Symposium is co-organised by the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow and the University of Bristol. Building on the tradition of previous Symposia from Sapporo in 1994 to Buenos Aires in 2015, IS-Glasgow 2019 will bring together researchers and practitioners to explore new directions in geomaterial testing.
