\u201cGood Grounds for the Future\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The 21st Symposium of the New Zealand Geotechnical Society will take place between 15 and 17 October 2020 in Dunedin. In this Symposium we will strive to explore the challenges and opportunities of our future, by learning from the failures and achievements of our past.<\/p>\n Symposium theme<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The theme of the Symposium is inspired by the profound changes currently experienced internationally and in New Zealand:<\/p>\n These are pressing future challenges for the geotechnical profession, but also great opportunities. The profession is playing a key role in achieving sustainability for our built environment and communities.<\/p>\n At the same time, new technologies, such as intelligent real-time remote monitoring systems, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and computer power create new capabilities. New wireless communication technologies enable dissemination of knowledge and collaboration, without geographical or other barriers. New regulation and guidelines framework provide an invaluable tool for benchmarking geotechnical engineering practice.<\/p>\n Our past failures and achievements can provide invaluable learnings and assist us in preparing for future challenges and in making the most future opportunities.<\/p>\nRegister at www.confer.nz\/nzgs2020<\/a>\n\t\n
