CONFERENCE THEME

Geomechanics: Innovations and Solutions for Energy, Environment and Deep Space

Submit your abstract and be part of a conference that drives the future of geomechanics. 

IGS 2026 delivers applied technical sessions, practical training, and high-level discussions addressing complex geomechanics challenges. From field-proven case studies to emerging technologies, the conference provides a premier platform for professionals to share insights, exchange solutions, and collaborate with global experts advancing innovation across energy systems, environmental resilience, and extreme environments.

The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support.

Call For Abstracts Is Open
