The XXVIII National Geotechnical Conference will be held in Venice for the first time in its history from 11 to 13 June 2025. The Conference will be held at the conference centre on the Island of San Servolo, a splendid island in the Venice lagoon just ten minutes by public vaporetto from San Marco, and will focus on the theme of “Safety, Maintenance and Development of Infrastructures”.
The technical and scientific debate promoted by AGI therefore brings attention to a very topical issue, vital for the development of the country, which concerns the various aspects linked to infrastructures – from transport and distribution, both underground and surface, to hydraulic and maritime ones – for which geotechnical engineering can and must play a leading role in ensuring the safety and functionality of works and interventions, in compliance with the criteria of economic efficiency and sustainability.
Also following the recent events that have affected our country and the introduction of ministerial guidelines for risk management, safety assessment and monitoring of existing tunnels and bridges, the management and maintenance of these works is increasingly at the center of renewed special attention by all the actors involved. The next National Geotechnical Conference in Venice therefore intends to create the opportunity for an eagerly awaited discussion on these topics, between the world of academia and management bodies, between design companies and construction companies, and intends to promote the meeting between the requests that come from those who operate in the territory and the innovations of scientific research.
The Conference, as per tradition, will develop over the course of three days, each dedicated to a particular category of infrastructure, with particular reference to those in the extra-urban area. The General and Panel Relations by invitation will be followed by the presentations of the papers received, as well as events specifically organized to stimulate dialogue and discussion around the themes of the Conference.
