ISSMGE Initiative: Time Capsule Project

The TCP has the following aims:

  1. To present some of the collective experience of member societies and technical committees in an accessible way for the broader geotechnical community and to enable positive and uplifting conversations, during a challenging time for us all.
  2. To provide current and future generations of geotechnical engineers with a road map that helps them access the past, present, and future in geotechnical engineering, globally, and to stir their collective curiosity.
  3. To provide a platform for up-and-coming engineers to stand for, and tell the story of, their member societies/technical committees and to take on leadership roles in addressing the challenges of the communities of the future.

The time capsule will be presented for the first time at the 20th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering.
