GeoMandu 2024
An International Conference Series of
Nepal Geotechnical Society
28-29 November, 2024 | Kathmandu, Nepal
About GeoMandu
In a world marked by rapid urbanization, environmental challenges, and the ever-growing demand for infrastructure development, the role of geotechnical engineering has become increasingly pivotal. ‘GeoMandu’ seeks to address the pressing need for sustainable solutions in this dynamic landscape. It promises to be a platform for the global geotechnical community to converge, collaborate, and innovate, with the shared goal of shaping sustainable, resilient, and eco-friendly infrastructures for the future.
We plan to hold this conference series every two years. GeoMandu, the conference series name represents the international conference in the field of geotechnical engineering held in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. The conference theme will change every two years, and for the ‘GeoMandu 2024’ we have chosen “Geotechnics for Sustainable Infrastructure.” It is scheduled to happen on 28-29 November, 2024 in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Submit Your Abstract/Paper
Nepal Geotechnical Society (NGS) invites all interested practicing and professional geotechnical engineers, civil engineers involved in geotechnics research and exploration, engineering geologists, seismologists, geoscientists, geomorphologists, ground hydrologists, and all professionals and researchers working in the field of geotechnics to contribute their research papers or project reports and to present their work in this conference. Please submit your work if it is somehow related to geotechnical engineering, geoscience, geohazards, geo-infra disasters, and sustainability.

Event FAQs
All practicing and professional geotechnical engineers, civil engineers involved in geohazard research and exploration, engineering geologists, seismologists, geoscientists, geomorphologists, ground hydrologists, and other professionals and researchers working in the field of geo-infra disaster management.
If you have any interest in geohazards and geo-infra disasters (e.g., geotechnical infrastructure-related disasters, foundation failure-led structural disaster, reservoir dam failures, river dyke failure-led floods, tunnel failures, underground structural failures, etc.), you will learn a lot about recent advances in these fields from this international conference.
Either by submitting a paper and presenting it or by simply registering as a conference participant. Please refer to registration details for how much to pay for participation.
This conference is the first of the biennial international event series of Nepal Geotechnical Society starting May 2022, and all these events will cover geotechnical engineering problems not only in the Nepal Himalaya but also in the similar geologies and geomorphologies in the world.
As a basic rule of ethics, we would expect that all submitted papers are the authors’ original research work, but it may not always be possible to present an original research work in international conferences. So, in addition to original research, we expect field-based investigation reports, project reports, review papers, and so on.
