The GENIUS Doctoral Network was pleased to be represented at the International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ICSMGE), an important international gathering for academics, researchers and industry professionals working in geotechnical engineering.
Connecting geotechnical engineering and sustainable energy
As the world pursues more sustainable approaches to heating, cooling and energy storage, geotechnical engineering has an important role in the development of low-carbon infrastructure. Energy geostructures combine structural functions with thermal energy exchange and storage, offering new opportunities for the built environment.
The conference offered opportunities to exchange knowledge, discuss emerging scientific and technical challenges, and explore potential future collaborations.
Strengthening international research connections
International scientific engagement supports the GENIUS Doctoral Networks mission to connect expertise in soil mechanics, geothermal energy, geotechnical engineering and sustainable infrastructure. We look forward to continuing these discussions throughout the project.
This project is funded by the European Union as part of the Horizon Europe programme, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks (MSCA-DN) 2024 and under the Agreement number 101226708
