This allows the free exchange of ideas and challenges faced by these two key stakeholders and encourages future collaboration between members of these groups.The conference was organized by the Perm National Research Polytechnic University, the Russian Academy of Architecture and Civil Engineering, and the Russian Society of Soil Mechanics, Geotechnics, and Foundation Engineering.The main goal of the conference is to promote research and development in advanced research in the field of geotechnics, and the other goal is to facilitate the exchange of scientific information between researchers, developers, engineers, students, and practitioners working around the world.The conference model was divided into four sessions, including oral presentations and keynote speeches from invited speakers. Key reports were presented by leading experts from France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. The speeches were accompanied by a simultaneous translation and lasted up to 40 minutes. Then the work continued in four sections, where the speakers were given up to 15 minutes to speak. The conference included 69 reports from more than 200 authors, as well as 20 poster presentations. The conference was attended by over 100 people, including online.The conference was held in a mixed-mode. Most of the participants took part in the conference directly, the other part was online. The latter was associated with the epidemiological situation in Europe and Russia. Which of course made it difficult to communicate between specialists and worsened the lively climate of communication.Key lectures at the conference were delivered by Professor Zhusupbekov A.Zh. President of the Kazakhstan Geotechnical Association (Eurasian National University, Kazakhstan), Professor E. Guler (Bosphorus University, Turkey); Professor - Manassero M., Vice President of ISSMGE for Europe, Professor (Turin Polytechnic University, Italy); Professor Katzenbach R. (Darmstadt Technical University, Germany); Professor Varaksin S., ISSMGE TC211, (France); Professor of the Prague Technical University I. Vanicek (Czech Republic).During the conference, modern geotechnologies for the construction of foundations and foundations in various soil and climatic conditions, including in potentially dangerous areas, were discussed, as well as modern methods of engineering surveys and testing of newly erected objects. Practical experience of strengthening the foundations of existing buildings and structures. New materials and technologies in road construction are presented. The results of experimental and theoretical research in the field of geotechnics and foundation engineering, methods of modeling, and calculations of foundations and foundations are discussed.The proceedings of the conference are a collection of accepted articles and represent an interesting outcome of the conference. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas: laboratory and field testing of soils; experimental and theoretical studies of foundations and underground structures; technology of the device, strengthening of bases and foundations; the practice of development of underground space, geotechnical monitoring, geosynthetics in geotechnics.The exchange of views on topical issues of fundamental structures contributes to the development of geotechnics, strengthening and expansion of communication between experts in the field of soil mechanics and geotechnics in Russia and abroad.
