Report on 16ARC in 2019, Taiwan by Prof. Der Wen Chang
Report on the suggested preparation of 16ARC
In preparing the 16ARC in Taipei, 2019, the web site of the Conference shall be available in June 2016. The major links of this website shall be able to access through ISSMGE, CTGS, SEAGS and AGSSEA web sites. The dates of the Conf. are fixed on October 21-25, 2019. Venue of 16ARC will be either Taipei Int. Convention Center or Marriott Taipei (a brand new hotel just opened). Main theme of the Conference is “Geotechnique for Sustainable Developments and Emerging Market Regions”. 4-day in-door program with 1-day techical tours are scheduled. Complimentary 1- or 2-day short courses on geotechnical work for infrastructures will be offered for Asian member society’s representatives (2 participants per member society) right before the Conference. Heritage of the historic ARCs and many other subjects related to the main theme will be planned for Keynote Lectures. At least ten slots are prepared to accommodate oral presentation of technical papers. Contingent plans of TC/ATC special sessions are welcomed.1/2-day poster sessions will be available for the contributed papers. The registration fees of 16ARC are US$500~US$700 for Early Bird ~ Non-ISSMGE member on-site registration. For students, the registration fee will be US$250~US$400 for Early Bird ~ on-site registration (valid student ID is required). The estimated scale of the 16ARC is:
700+ delegates and 500+ papers (both oral and poster) will be presented. It is the greatest pleasure and honor for CTGS to host this Conference; we believe it will be the biggest International geotechnical activity ever held in Taiwan. It certainly will become a remarkable experience to all the members at the Taiwan Geotechnical Society.
