15th ISRM International Congress 2023

The Austrian Society for Geomechanics has the pleasure to invite you to the 15th international ISRM Congress 2023 to be held in conjunction with the 72nd Geomechanics Colloquium in Salzburg, the city where the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) was founded in 1962.

The Geomechanics Colloquium in Salzburg since its initiation in 1951 has always been a perfect and distinguished meeting place for researchers and practitioners. The success of this concept not only shows in the continuous meetings over more than 70 years but also in the attendance of regularly around 1000 participants.

During the conference, a Rock Bowl will be held, which is sponsored by Geobrugg. 

Salzburg is famous for its unique historical city center, and the wonderful Alpine landscape in the vicinity, as well as for outstanding music festivals. Mozart was born in Salzburg and spent a good deal of his life here. Traditionally a chamber concert is organized for the participants. The program will include city tours, and tours to scenic and interesting places in the vicinity of the city as well as site visits to tunnel and rock engineering projects.
