Engineering Geologists & Geology
Dear colleague, friend,
With a small core team we are doing the first preparations for the next IAEG world congress in Delft, in November 2026. We need lots of people who are interested and would like to participate in the organisation. Our aim is to set up a complete organisational structure before coming summer. If you are interested, please fill out the survey with the link below!
We are delighted to announce that IAEG General Assembly voted that the next will be organized by the Dutch National Group of IAEG (Ingeokring) in Delft, the Netherlands in the first half of November 2026. The congress, themed Engineering Geology in a Rapidly Changing World, will focus on cutting-edge research on the fundamentals of engineering geology, showcase best practices in the domain and demonstrate the pivotal role of engineering geology in a world struggling with unprecedented challenges.
So keep your agenda open from Saturday 31-10 to Friday 05-11-2026 ánd from Saturday 07-11 to Friday 13-11-2026. Until further notice!

On Friday 24 November 2023, the Ingeokring has held the Autumn Symposium themed “Salt of the Earth”. The symposium has been attended very well. A lot of new insights, ideas and lessons have been learned from to the speakers and their presentations. Again, we would like to express the speakers our gratitude!
Furthermore, we would hereby like to share the speakers’presentations:

Several engineering geologists, geophysicists and geotechnical engineers working for Fugro will show and tell you all about what they are currently working on. This could be data acquisition, analysis, and engineering on projects such as the Dutch Offshore Wind Farm IJmuiden Ver and the Antwerpen Oosterweel Rail Link, but also developing new innovative tools and equipment. You will be offered an unique opportunity to see and experience first hand what they do at Fugro.
Programme:
15.45-16.00: Walk-in
16.00-16.05: Welcome
16.05-16.25: SI for offshore wind farms in the Dutch Sector of the North Sea
16.25-16.50: RVO offshore wind farm “IJmuiden Ver”
16.50-17.30: Tour of the transducer dept. and mechanical workshop
17.30-17.45: Geodata acquisition by Magnetic Resonance
17.45-17.55: Innovation – thermal CPT’s
17.55-18.15: Oosterweel Link Antwerp
18.15-18.20: Closure
18.20-19.00: Drinks and snacks
Dear members of Ingeokring,
In this Ingeokring theme year “Salt of the Earth”, we will visit the salt mines in central Germany. The mines are now in use as storage location of nuclear waste. Along the way we will also visit a Mock-up mine in the Harz area and some other interesting geological sites.
Preliminary program:
The Morsleben salt mine is a storage of low to medium radioactive waste. This mine is currently being prepared for final storage, and it is a stable mine in the current state. There is a nearby storage facility, the Asse II mine, which was also filled with nuclear waste in the 60’s to 90’s of the previous century. It is currently under investigation as it was found not stable and retrieval of the waste is being prepared. Hans Roest will give a well-informed presentation on the problems encountered at the Asse II mine on the evening before our visit to the Morsleben mine.
Further background information can be found here: https://www.einblicke.de/morsleben/
There is a maximum of 14 people that can go underground. We intend to give priority to Ingeokring members for the slots of the underground visit. For other (co)-visitors or for those who prefer to stay above ground, there is the possibility to do a 3D Virtual tour of the mine at the same time.
All costs for travel and lodging (room + food) will be for the individual participants. A preliminary estimate is 300 Euros pp for a single room incl. breakfast/diner, and 230 Euros pp for a double room incl. breakfast/diner. Travel costs are additional.
