CALL FOR PAPERS
On behalf of the ISSMGE, the Hellenic Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering calls for original papers related to the Conference topics. Each ISSMGE Member Society of Europe will be allocated a pre-determined number of pages in the proceedings, according to the established procedures of ISSMGE.
Authors of papers should submit to the Secretariat of their respective ISSMGE Member Society extended abstracts on one A4 page, including graphs, tables and illustrations, by a deadline established by the Member Society. Authors are asked to mention which topic is covered by their abstract. The Member Societies should submit the abstracts of papers proposed to be included in the proceedings, electronically in MS Word format plus one hard copy, to the Conference Organizing Committee no later than 30th April 2010. The final decision about acceptance of a paper will be made by the Conference Advisory Committee in collaboration with the Conference Organizing Committee.
