Discover the forefront of offshore geotechnics at the 5th International Symposium on Frontiers in Offshore Geotechnics (ISFOG) hosted by the University Gustave Eiffel, from June 9-13, 2025, in Nantes, France, at La Cité Nantes Congress Centre.
Join industry leaders, researchers, and experts for an unparalleled experience, building on the success of our previous symposiums in Austin, Texas (2022), Oslo, Norway (2015) and Perth, Australia (2005, 2010). With the support of the ISSMGE, represented by the French geotechnical society (CFMS), this event is organized by a French mirror group of the TC209 and will provide a global perspective on offshore geotechnics.
ISFOG 2025 will highlight cutting-edge technologies, with a spotlight on the evolving landscape of offshore renewables, including the shift to floating wind farms. Explore geotechnical challenges faced by both the oil and gas and wind industries, with insights delivered by a distinguished speaker in the 7th Honorary McClelland lecture.
1 Frontier developments for offshore renewable energies
2. Site investigation strategies for fixed offshore windfarms and floating windfarms
3. Geohazards and integrated studies
4. Site characterization and ground modelling
