NOMINATION OF MALAYSIAN CANDIDATES

The Geotechnical Engineering Technical Division (GETD), IEM invites engineers registered with IEM to submit a 300-words abstract and a brief Curriculum Vitae(CV) for the CIE - HKIE-IEM Tripartite Seminar 2026. Three candidates will be selected to represent IEM to present the technical papers in this seminar in Taiwan. The selection process will be based on the abstracts submitted, and decision made by the Committee of GETD will be final. 

The selected candidates will be provided with two nights’ accommodation and waived the seminar registration fees by the organising institution. Transportation costs for attending the seminar for the selected candidates will be partly subsidised by IEM-GETD. Within a period of one month after the seminar, the candidates shall submit a written report (suitable for publication in IEM’s Bulletin) on the event to GETD. The candidates will also be required to repeat the presentation at IEM as an evening technical talk.
