The Conference Geotechnical Engineering Education 2025 (GEE2025) is organized by the Technical Committee TC306 for Geo-Engineering Education of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), under the auspices of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Géologie ENSG of the Université de Lorraine – France.

The International Conferences on Geotechnical Engineering Education are now well established since TC306 took over their organization under the auspices of ISSMGE. The conference in Nancy will be the sixth, after Sinaia, Romania (2000), Constantza, Romania (2008), Galway, Ireland (2012), Belo Horizonte, Brazil (2016) and Athens, Greece (2020). The proceedings of the 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020 conferences are available through the Online Library of ISSMGE.

The Conference GEE2025 has two priority themes:

● Theme 1 – Teaching of Unsaturated soils

● Theme 2 – Use of numerical modelling to support teaching
