TENTH YOUNG GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERS' CONFERENCE
20st-25th October'96, Izmir,Turkey
Introduction
Tenth Young Geotechnical Engineers' Conference will be organized in Turkey.
The theme of
the Conference is "Ground Improvement". The conference will be held in Izmir
between
21st and 25th October, 1996. The participants are expected to arrive in
Izmir by the

Young engineers from every European Member Society are invited to
participate. The object
of the Conference is to provide an opportunity for young geotechnical
engineers and
scientists to meet and present their ideas and discuss their achievements
and results
of their investigations.
Presentations
Participants are invited to make a presentation of 10 minutes duration on
any topic
within geotechnical engineering which falls into the general context of the
title
"Ground Improvement". Participants are invited to address this theme by
discussing in
their presentations the measure they have taken to assure themselves that
their work is
of the highest quality within the resources avaiable.
Those reporting field work, or case histories could discuss difficulties of
achieving
high quality data and the checks on instrumentation that have been carried out.
Participants should also discuss the value of their work in the context of
the technical
and economic benefit that it provides.
Format
The Conference will be informal in nature, with up to 30 young engineers
from as many
European countries as possible. Each participant is expected to present his
work during
10 minutes, and allow 10 minutes time for discussions.
In order to help in organizing the Conference participants are requested to
send the
title of their presentations, plus an abstract, to the Conference
Secretariat before

extended summary
of his or her presentation, of two type written pages maximum, and bring 40
copies of the
summary to the Conference for distribution.
A small number of senior geotechnical engineers will be invited to give
short talks, to
chair and stimulate the discussions during sessions, and to share their
experience with
the younger colleagues.
Conference Costs
The cost of the Conference is 750 DM, including registration and
administrative costs,
