History
The international Symposium on Landslides has a long and successful history that has brought geoscientist and other interested people together for four decades around the common theme of landslides. The Symposium started in 1972 in Kyoto, Japan followed by a successful series of Symposiums, leading to the most recent editions in Xi’an, China (X ISL 2008), in Alberta, Canada (XI ISL 2012), and in Napoli, Italy (XII ISL 2016). The XIII ISL is designed as the meeting point for engineers, geologists, geoscientist, planners, economist and decision makers on the common topic of landslides and their impact on Society and Environment.
