The Young Geotechnical Engineers Conferences evolved from an idea by Professor Atkinson at City University, London, UK, in the 1980s. The Young Geotechnical Engineers Conferences bring together small groups of delegates who are working towards a PhD or Masters degree or are at an early stage of their career in industry or academia and are under the age of 35. Delegates want to connect with other researchers and early career geotechnical engineers and share their experiences.
