Authors information

This scientific and technical gathering will bring together global stakeholders, including asset owners, leading experts, researchers, and contractors, to discuss the latest advancements, share breakthroughs, and address the critical challenges shaping the future of transport infrastructures and major earthworks.

As the industry faces unprecedented environmental, regulatory, and technological shifts, ISEE6 will serve as a vital platform for exploring the evolution of European standards and the harmonization of soil classification and quality control frameworks. A significant focus will be placed on the digital transformation of the profession, highlighting innovations, BIM integration for linear infrastructures, site digital twins, and autonomous equipment that enhance both efficiency and operator safety.

In response to global climate urgency, the seminar will deeply explore the themes of sustainability, circular economy, and infrastructure resilience. Discussions will cover material treatments—ranging from traditional binders to innovative low-carbon alternatives, enzymatic solutions, and biopolymers—designed to optimize the reuse of local soils and excavated materials. Furthermore, the program will address the long-term resilience of earth structures against severe climate variations, such as extreme wet-dry cycles, and slope instability.

Concurrently, the event will highlight nature preservation through bio-engineering solutions, ecological slope stabilization, and sustainable on-site water management. These technical and ecological advancements will be grounded in real-world applications, featuring operational feedback and case studies from major, complex earthworks projects worldwide.
Finally, the seminar will welcome discussions on emerging industry trends, legal frameworks for soil management, and the evolution of academic and professional training.

By blending technical rigor with ecological responsibility, ISEE6 aims to chart the course for smarter, low-carbon, and highly resilient earthworks practices for the decades to come.
Remember, infrastructures are very important for our societies, for security, for the economy.

Our field, earthworks represents 80% of the construction of road infrastructures. It goes without saying how important this seminar is, and how much we need your contribution.
