4th European Conference on Unsaturated Soils

The event is the fourth of a series of European conferences and follows the successful series organised in Durham, UK, in 2008, Naples, Italy, in 2012, and Paris, France, in 2016. The conference series is supported by the Technical Committee 106 of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering on Unsaturated Soils. It will be organized by Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Lisbon, in collaboration with Delft University of Technology (TUDelft), The Netherlands, and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona. The conference will be hosted at IST in Lisbon, Portugal, from 24 to 26 June 2020.
