Proceedings of the 18
th
International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Paris 2013
The integration of GeoWorld with the ISSMGE website can be
taken to the next level. Geotechnical engineers should be able
to use their GeoWorld accounts to provide feedback on the
ISSMGE website. Technical Committees have GeoWorld
profile pages that properly used can help them outreach to the
Profession.
The IDC needs to continue to find better and improved
strategies to integrate the International Journal of
Geoengineering Case Histories with the ISSMGE organization,
by involving ISSMGE-sponsored conferences, the ISSMGE
Member Countries, and professionals and using its resources
such as GeoWorld and the ISSMGE website. The journal can
be better integrated with the ISSMGE organization.

CLOSURE
The work of IDC will never be completed. Additional innovations will
create efficiencies in the professional activities of geotechnical
engineers. They will create new opportunities, new ideas and new
needs. These needs are global and ISSMGE is the premier organization
to address them. It is our hope that this IDC committee has carved a
new exciting direction for ISSMGE that will help the organization make
lasting contributions to the profession. Subsequent IDC Committees can
help the organization proceed in this direction. It has been our privilege
to serve ISSMGE.
