Dear Colleague,
The 6th International Congress on Environmental Geotechnics (ICEG) will be held in New Delhi next
November and I look forward to meeting you or your colleagues there. As you should be aware, the ICEG is
a quadrennial event and, following approval by the Board of ISSMGE, its organisation is now the
responsibility of Technical Committee 215: Environmental Geotechnics. It is timely that we start to plan for
the 7th ICEG.
In order to select the host country and the venue, I am asking the members of the Technical Committee
along with ISSMGE Member Societies to submit expressions of interest for hosting the 7thICEG in 2014.
The submission should be sent to me no later than 30th September 2010 and should include a short
description of proposed city and venue, likely themes and a preliminary budget focusing mainly on the
expected number of delegates.
The expressions of interest will be considered by the Executive of TC215. Presentations of the proposals will
be made during a meeting of the Technical Committee, to be held in New Delhi at the time of the 6ICEG,
and a vote will be taken to select the venue of 7ICEG 2014.
I look forward to receiving your proposal and I hope to meet numerous delegates of your Member Society at
the 6thICEG.
