The Nordic Geotechnical Meeting is an important event in the history of ISSMGE. The first Nordic Geotechnical Meeting was held in Stockholm on 18-20 May 1950, organized by the Swedish Geotechnical Society. The participants in this historic meeting were 36 delegates, true pioneers. The members of the Nordic Geotechnical Societies have been faithful to the history and regularly hold the Nordic Geotechnical Meetings, which are now large Nordic conferences with hundreds of delegates, but they are still good meetings. NGM is the oldest recorded regional meeting series of ISSMGE and only the International Conferences have a longer history than NGM. |
