Technical Challenges and Environmental Imperatives for the 21st Century
EuroGeo 2025 is the 8th European Conference on Geosynthetics. This regional conference of the International Geosynthetics Society (IGS) is held every four years. The conferences connect researchers, civil engineers, infrastructure professionals, and sustainability experts from around the world to share technologies, design strategies, and innovations with a special focus on beneficially impacting engineering in the European countries with geosynthetics.
The main theme of the Conference is: Technical Challenges and Environmental Imperatives for the 21st Century. The new challenges faced by construction professionals, environmental concerns, innovation and risk management will be at the heart of the discussions and presentations.
Almost 50 years after the first and historical International Conference on Geosynthetics in 1977 on the Use of Fabrics in Geotechnics in Paris, where two terms that have become
central to the field of geosynthetics: “geotextile” and “geomembrane” were established and 22 years after the 7th lnternational Conference on Geosynthetics (7 ICG) in Nice in 2002, the CFG French Chapter of IGS decided to welcome you for the 3rd time in Lille for this 8th European Conference.
At the heart of Europe’s largest consumption area, Lille is a welcoming and warm city. It is less than 60 minutes by TGV from Paris, 35 minutes from Brussels and 80 minutes from London.
The aim of the CFG French Chapter of IGS is to bring together in a single group individuals and legal entities interested in the development of geosynthetics in all fields, in particular with regard to their production and distribution, the design and engineering of structures incorporating these types of products, their prescription, implementation, research and training.
This includes promoting the state of the art of using geosynthetics, and encouraging research in the field of geosynthetics. This 8th European Conference welcomes you in this spirit.
Themes and topics
With over 50 years of their successful use, geosynthetics have proved to be a sustainable equivalent to conventional solutions. They are widely acknowledged and accepted. We would like to pay attention the correct use of geosynthetics with respect to their design service life, functions, long term performance and durability and with concern for environmental impact of the works.
