Forum for discussions, dissemination and propagation of research and practices in the application of bio-organisms for geotechnical engineering works. This includes the use of microorganisms: bacteria, fungi, biofilms etc. for geotechnical applications via technologies such as microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP), enzyme induced calcium carbonate precipitation (EICP), engineering biofilms, fungi, biocrusts, for soil Improvement, amongst others.
