The aim of Powders & Grains 2025 (to be held in Goa, India, during 8-12 December 2025; https://www.powdersandgrains2025.co.in/) is to share the recent advances in the broad research field of granular media and particulate suspensions. Contributions from experts around the world will cover a wide range of topics.
Powders & Grains (https://www.powdersandgrains.org/) is the premier international scientific conference held every four years in three different continents (Europe, America and Asia & Oceania) since 1989. It brings together engineers, physicists and applied mathematicians interested in the mechanics and physics of granular media and particulate suspensions. It distinguishes itself from other meetings on granular materials by (1) the mixture of disciplines, (2) the unique single-session talks, (3) the posters taking a prominent role and being displayed throughout the conference, and (4) the refereed conference papers published online before the meeting.
Thank you for your support to AGERP lecture series from the past four years. At AGERP’20 AGERP’21, AGERP’22, and AGERP’23, we have more than 50 lectures and 1 panel discussion that brought together more than 60 renowned geoengineering experts and a huge audience from 131 countries through a free to access knowledge sharing platform. Apart from the generous support from the experts that appeared in the past fourth editions of, it is your participation and appreciation that largely contributed to the success of AGERP.
In the last four editions of the AGERP lecture series, we covered quite a breadth of topics related to geotechnical engineering. In the fifth edition, we intend to dive even further and deeper into some of the specialised topics in geotechnical engineering. To that end, we are pleased to invite you to the Indo-Australian Workshop on Geotechnical Engineering, scheduled to be held from 29th November 2024. You may register for the workshop at www.age-rp.com. Program for the workshop is summarised in the Flyer (In IST and AEST).
From April 14th to 17th, 2025, we are organizing an international workshop titled “International Workshop on Granular Materials & Regolith” at the University de Lorraine, Metz, France. The theme of the event will focus on: “Granular Materials Fundamentals, Applications, and Concepts for Extraterrestrial Regolith, including the Moon, Mars, and Asteroids.”
The event will bring together specialists and established researchers from academia, government agencies (including NASA, ESA, CNES) and industry. Participants will exchange and discuss ideas and topics related to regolith issues, particularly how knowledge and methods developed for granular media can help to approach extraterrestrial regolith behavior under extreme temperature, thin atmosphere, radiation, meteorite impact and other extreme environmental conditions.
The Workshop will have 10 sessions including 10 invited researchers/specialists delivering keynote presentations and 14 invited Feature presentations,18 quick-talks, and a poster session with more than 40 presentations.
We are pleased to invite you to participate in this event, and we will be grateful if you could circulate the attached flyer to those interested.

Conference EUNSAT2025 – 5th European Conference on Unsaturated Soils (https://eunsat2025.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/) – will be at Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal, from 1 to 3 September 2025. This conference is supported by the Technical Committee 106 of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering.
Considering Unsaturated Soils natural link to Bio-Inspired Technology such as Nature-based Solutions and Biocementation, among other topics, the organization has decided to create special sessions related to Biotechnology in Geotechnical Engineering, BGE, and offer a summer course on this topic mainly dedicated to PhD students. Participants outside unsaturated soils technical community are mostly welcome, having the option to register only at BGE.
Abstracts on any topic related to UNSATURATED SOILS AND ROCKS are welcome, covering topics on traditional geotechnical engineering applications, sustainability in Geotechnical Engineering, environmental problems (engineered barriers to protect the environment, the reuse of waste materials, tailings and mine waste, etc), climate stresses under climate change scenario, energy geotechnics, historic sites, geo-education and bio-inspired technologies in Geotechnics (BGE topics: nature-based solutions, root reinforcement, bio-cementation, fungi reinforcement, hydrophobic materials, among others).
Conference proceedings will be submitted for Scopus indexation.
