IACMAG is a leading international forum in computational geomechanics, bringing together researchers and practitioners to exchange advances in numerical methods and their applications across geotechnical and geoengineering problems. According to the official conference announcement, the conference covered a broad range of themes, including soil and rock mechanics, soil–structure interaction, and flow in porous media, among other topics relevant to civil, energy, and environmental engineering.

A key highlight of the conference was a keynote lecture by Prof. Wei Wu (BOKU Vienna), entitled
“Recent advances in modelling dense granular flow” In this talk, he presented recent progress in dense granular-flow modelling and discussed its relevance to geotechnical and geoengineering applications.
