As near-surface challenges grow in complexity, the call for collaborative, interdisciplinary solutions has never been stronger. The 8th Asia Pacific Meeting on Near Surface Geoscience & Engineering (NSGE) will take place in Bandung, Indonesia from 11-13 May 2026, continuing its tradition as a vital platform for geoscientists, engineers, researchers, and industry professionals to connect, share and innovate.With a focus on applied technologies, sustainable practices, and cross-sector insights, the 8th NSGE will address key topics such as environmental geophysics, engineering applications, site characterization, urban development, and natural hazard mitigation. As the energy transition accelerates, sessions will also explore the role of near-surface methods in supporting geothermal energy, infrastructure resilience, and carbon storage.
Set in the scenic highlands of West Java, Bandung - a city renowned for its academic institutions, innovation spirit, and cultural vibrancy, provides an inspiring backdrop for this technical and professional exchange.Whether you're a returning participant or joining for the first time, the 8th NSGE promises an enriching programme of technical sessions, workshops, and networking activities designed to drive progress and collaboration in the region.Join us in Bandung and be part of shaping the future of near-surface geoscience and engineering across Asia Pacific.
