Join the 2027 conference in Paris!
June 1-3, 2027 • Fédération Nationale des Travaux Publics, Paris
Invitation
We invite everyone interested in earthworks not only from Europe but also from other corners of the world to come to Paris and share their experience with others. Earthworks represent major share in time and costs in civil engineering constructions. Millions of cubic meters of soil and rock as well as secondary and artificial materials are moved and placed in earth structures every year. Our goal is earthworks conducted in high quality, quickly and environmentally friendly.
Paris is located at the crossroads of Europe and stands as the vibrant capital of France. Renowned for its rich scientific heritage and its leading role in academic and research communities, Paris has long been a hub for innovation and knowledge exchange. We believe that hosting this important event in Paris will stimulate interest in earthworks across Europe and beyond. It will foster stronger collaboration and reinforce connections between Western, Central, and Eastern European countries, while opening further opportunities to an international level.
Paris is a city of remarkable beauty and iconic architecture, most notably the Eiffel Tower and the historic bridges spanning the Seine. It stands as one of the world’s most captivating cultural capitals.
The seminar will be held at a prestigious venue nearby the Champs Elysées (Maison des Travaux Publics), with easy and quick access by metro, offering excellent connectivity over the Parisian area.
We look forward to welcoming you in Paris!
