On behalf of the President of ISSMGE Charles Ng and the Chair of the Innovation and Development Committee (IDC) Prof. Dimitrios Zekkos, we are pleased to invite you to participate in a survey on “Innovation Initiatives of ISSMGE.” The IDC has been working for the last eight years on a number of initiatives, and as new priorities are being set, we think your feedback will be extremely useful on the development of new initiatives. The survey is available here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RSX6HS2 . It should take no more than 8 minutes to fill in the survey. Also, a lottery will be held and one participant will receive a set of geotechnical books; please include your email in your response. The survey will be available until April 30th.
