Welcome letter from Conference Chairman
Dear Esteemed Colleagues in the Field of Geosynthetics,
With great excitement, we extend our invitations to you for the upcoming GeoAsia8 conference, scheduled to take place in the vibrant city of Brisbane, Australia, from 10 – 13 June 2025. As proud hosts, the Australasian Chapter of the International Geosynthetics Society (ACIGS) welcomes you to this international gathering that stands as the 8th Asian Conference on Geosynthetics (GeoAsia8).
The conference’s primary mission is to delve into the multifaceted dimensions of geosynthetics. Our focus encompasses the applications of geosynthetics in civil and geotechnical engineering, with a special emphasis on research and development. The profound impact of geosynthetics resonates throughout the design and construction of reinforcement, hydraulics, stabilisation and barrier systems, and beyond, propelling scientific advancement to unprecedented heights.
Australia has emerged as a vibrant hub of geosynthetics industry, and Brisbane, with its fusion of cultural richness, innovation, and natural splendour, serves as an ideal backdrop for this gathering of minds. Beyond the intellectual exchange of the conference, the captivating spirit of Brisbane promises an enriching experience for all attendees.
We eagerly anticipate your presence at GeoAsia8 in Brisbane, where we will collectively chart new frontiers in geosynthetics, laying the foundation for future breakthroughs. Your invaluable contributions and insights will propel our field toward a future brimming with possibilities. The connections and collaborations that are bound to flourish during this event fill us with anticipation and excitement.
With warm regards,
Siamak Paulson | GeoAsia8 Conference Chairman
