We are pleased to announce that abstract submission for ISRM Specialised Conference CouFrac 2026 (5th International Conference on Coupled Processes in Fractured Geological Media) is now open!

Since its launch in 2018 in Wuhan, the CouFrac conference series has grown into a leading international forum on coupled processes in fractured geological media, with successful meetings subsequently held in Seoul (2020), Berkeley (2022), and Kyoto (2024). We are delighted to host the next edition, CouFrac 2026, in Uppsala, Sweden, from 20 to 23 September 2026.

We warmly invite you to submit an abstract and share your latest research, insights, and innovations with the CouFrac community. Contributions spanning fundamental studies, field observations, laboratory experiments, numerical modelling, and engineering applications are all welcome.
