Young Geomechanical Professionals’ Night

Call for Abstracts

The Sydney Chapter of AGS is calling for presenters for the Young Geomechanical Professionals’ Night on Wednesday 14 June 2023. The best applicants (from industry and universities) will be chosen to give a 10-minute presentation on their preferred topic. Successful applicants will be selected based on a half-page abstract on the subject that they propose to present (deadline 17th April). Following selection, final presentations would be due by 29th May for AGS review. Talks need not be overly technical or theoretical, but should reflect interesting and challenging aspects of the presenter’s work that would be of interest to the geotechnical community. Participation is open to industry participants under the age of 35 as of 1st January 2023.
