Organisers

Indian Geotechnical Society

Established in 1948, the Indian Geotechnical Society (IGS) is India's leading professional body for advancing geotechnical engineering. Affiliated with the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), IGS promotes collaboration among engineers, researchers, and academicians in soil mechanics, foundation engineering, and rock mechanics. With over 55 local chapters and numerous student chapters, it facilitates knowledge exchange through the annual Indian Geotechnical Conference (IGC) and the Indian Geotechnical Journal, connecting research with practice.

The IGS Calicut Chapter, based at NIT Calicut, serves as a key regional platform linking academia, research, and industry in Kerala. The chapter actively supports geotechnical development through workshops, expert talks, and collaborative field oriented initiatives.

National Institute of Technology Calicut

Established in 1961 as Calicut Regional Engineering College, the National Institute of Technology Calicut (NITC) is an Institute of National Importance and one of India's leading engineering institutions. Spread across a 285 acre eco friendly campus in Kerala, NITC is a major center for technical education and research, with 17 multidisciplinary centers aligned with NEP 2020 and national missions.

The Department of Civil Engineering, active since the institute's inception, is renowned for its consultancy services and postgraduate programs. With dedicated M.Tech programs in Geotechnical Engineering and Offshore Structures, the department provides an ideal academic setting for the ISOG Conference.

Centre of Excellence for Blue Economy & Coastal Resilience

Inaugurated in January 2025, the Centre of Excellence for Blue Economy and Coastal Resilience at NIT Calicut is a multidisciplinary research hub advancing innovation, education, and sustainable development in marine sectors. Led by Prof. Santosh G. Thampi, it addresses challenges in offshore energy, marine robotics, sustainable fisheries, and coastal erosion.

Through collaborations with academia, industry, policymakers, and the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), the centre plays a key role in strengthening resilient infrastructure and supporting India's long term blue economy goals.
