Welcome to FOMLIG 2027

The FOMLIG2027 International Workshop on the Future of Machine Learning in Geotechnics (FOMLIG) will be held during 12-15 October 2027 at The University of Technology Sydney (UTS).

Unprecedented capabilities in data acquisition and processing, inspirational paradigms and knowledge emerging from scientific research, and a new, multi-faceted global awareness about the importance of networking and sustainability are changing the world at a very fast pace.

Within this exciting context, artificial intelligence and machine learning are increasingly employed in the pursuit of resilient, ethical management of human communities and of the natural environment. As in many other technical and non-technical disciplines, they demonstrate their suitability and potential in geotechnical engineering by enhancing analysis, data processing, and design through their capability of addressing complexity.

FOMLIG2027 — The Workshop on the Future of Machine Learning in Geotechnics will focus on how current and forthcoming synergies between human and artificial intelligences will foster geotechnical research, practice, and education, and how human conscience and ethics can best nurture this partnership through new paradigms, cultural perceptions, and regulations.

We are delighted to welcome students, practitioners, and researchers from both within and outside the geotechnical discipline to Sydney, a city ideally positioned to host discussions on the future of geotechnical engineering, where world-class infrastructure, technological innovation, and a strong culture of research and industry collaboration come together to shape the next generation of engineering solutions.

We look forward to seeing you in October 2027!
