3rd International Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference

摘要

The International Young Geotechnical Engineer Conference is an official conference which has been held under the auspices of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. Geotechnical people who are 35 years old or less are chosen by member geotechnical societies and stay together for several days so that they can achieve something during the period. The first conference took place in Southampton of U.K. in 2000 and was followed by Constanza-Mamaia of Romania in 2003. Being abbreviated as iYGEC in this report, this series of conference has two aims which are international familiarization among young engineers and developing international viewpoints in those engineers. The Japanese Geotechnical Society and the organizing committee of the 16th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering were requested to hold the third iYGEC in Osaka at the same time as the International Conference. Hence, third iYGEC (3iYGEC) was scheduled to take place from Monday, September 12th, to Friday, September 16th, in Osaka. The idea behind this simultaneous schedule was to encourage young engineers not only to pursue the conventional aims of iYGEC but also to attend the main conference so that they could get more experiences and broader scope through interaction with senior people.
