The conference will focus on the key themes of the Engineering Geology of the Energy Transition and will bring together practitioners and academics from our industry.
The conference will also be used as a launch for the Special Publication on 'Offshore Site Characterisation: Engineering Geology, Geomorphology and Geohazards (OEGGG)' by the Working Party of EGGS.
- Registration to the conference
- Accommodation for two nights at Christ's College (10 & 11 April)
- Buffet dinner on 10 April and a banquet on 11 April

While the conference itself is excellent CPD, there will be a bespoke training session on Thursday 10 April from 11am to 5.30pm, before the full conference begins at 6pm. Sessions will focus on state-of-the-art approaches in engineering geology, including aspects of groundwater in engineering geology, advanced desk study, earthworks and routes to CGeol. This CPD training can be booked during registration for an additional £80 (which includes lunch and refreshments). - Field Trip to the North Norfolk Coast
Following the conference, there will be an optional full day field trip to the North Norfolk coast on Sunday 13 April, with a focus on Quaternary Engineering Geology. The trip can be booked as part of the conference package with the option of Saturday night B&B, and an in-college dinner in the evening. The trip will include a packed lunch. Tickets can be purchased during registration for an additional £190 for the Saturday night room, dinner and breakfast or £95 for the Sunday trip without extra accommodation or meal. Both registrations will include a packed lunch.
