The group of Laboratory of Soil Mechanics successfully organized an International Symposium on Energy Geotechnics - SEG 2018

During the conference, various subjects related to the geomechanics, including energy geostructures, hydraulic stimulation, induced seismicity, gas hydrates sediments, nuclear waste disposal and carbon sequestration were discussed among the scientists, practitioners and the representatives of authorities. Keynote lectures were delivered by the most prominent internationally recognized specialists in the field. The participants had the opportunity to take part in short course organized within COST Action TU 1405 as well as in the first Innovation Hub - a platform to bring practitioners, engineers and researchers to foster the debate around building the sustainable infrastructure systems and technology of tomorrow. The symposium was followed by the visit of the Mont Terri rock laboratory, an international research project for the hydrogeological, geochemical and geotechnical characterisation of a clay formation in the Swiss Jura region.
