Welcome Message
The International Conference on Geotechnics for Sustainable Infrastructure Development (GEOTEC HANOI or GH in short) has established itself as a premier event in Vietnam and the broader region, renowned for its academic excellence, organizational scale, and high-quality contents. Since its inception in 2011, the conference has been successfully held in Hanoi in 2011, 2013, 2016, 2019, and 2023. Each event has served as a global forum for scholars, researchers, and professional engineers to exchange the latest advancements and technologies in geotechnical engineering. The 5th conference in 2023 welcomed over 1,200 participants from 40 countries across five continents. A hallmark of every GEOTEC HANOI conference is its lineup of outstanding keynote lectures delivered by world-leading experts. Highlights of the past events can be viewed at https://geotechn.vn/geotec-hanoi-about. The conference also offers exceptional opportunities for sponsors and exhibitors to connect with the professional community and showcase their innovations and services.
Looking ahead, the 6th conference, GEOTEC HANOI 2026, will be held in November 26-27, 2026 at the National Convention Center (NCC) in Hanoi, Vietnam. It is co-organized by FECON Corporation, the Vietnam Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (VSSMGE), and the Chinese Institution of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (CISMGE), with the honorable patronage and support of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE).
Building on its strong legacy, GEOTEC HANOI 2026 promises to be another landmark event, bringing together high-profile academics, researchers, and industry professionals from around the world. The conference will feature six traditional themes, i.e., Deep Foundations, Tunneling and Underground Spaces, Ground Improvement, Landslide and Erosion, Geotechnical Modelling and Smart Monitoring, Offshore Wind Power and Coastal Geotechnics, and especially two emerging and highly relevant themes: Applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Geotechnical Engineering and Geotechnics for High-speed Railways.
We warmly invite you to participate in GEOTEC HANOI 2026—to share your valuable insights, engage with global experts, and experience the vibrant culture and hospitality of Hanoi and Vietnam.
