The 18th International Conference of the ISTVS will provide you a place where you can exchange ideas and information on the current research and technology developments in the field of terramechanics and terrain-machine systems.
Seoul, the capital of Republic of Korea, is one of the largest cities in the world, risen from the ashes of the Korean war to become a modern metropolis with a population of 10.6 million, and a political, economic, and educational hub of the country with many elegant historical attractions.
Seoul National University, founded in 1946, is the most prestigious university in Korea, is comprised of 16 colleges and 8 professional graduate schools with 1,800 professors and 28,000 students. The conference venue is located at the outskirts of the campus, about 1.5 km away from its center.
It is a real pleasure to extend to all ISTVS members, students, and nonmember professionals a cordial invitation to visit Seoul, Korea, for the 18th International Conference.
