OST delegation has participated the 11^th Asian Regional Conference of IAEG (ARC-11) in Kathmandu, Nepal, from November 25^th-30^th.

IAEG (short for International Association of Engineering Geology), who belongs to the International Union of Geological Sciences, is the authority in the field of engineering geology.  Its purpose is to collect and evaluate the experience in engineering geological activities from all over the world in order to promote the development of engineering geology and environmental research. 

(OST delegation had a pleasant talk with Dr. Scott Burns, the president of  IAEG)
