Welcome to RockEng 2025
Step into the world of rock mechanics excellence at RockEng 2025, the 23rd Canadian Rock Mechanics Symposium, proudly presented by the Canadian Rock Mechanics Association (CARMA). From August 17th to 19th, 2025, join us at École de Technologie Supérieure in Montréal, Québec, for three days of unparalleled learning, sharing and networking.​
The theme of RockEng 2025, Rock Mechanics Solutions for Tomorrow's Challenges, highlights both the fantastic opportunities and daunting tasks surrounding the future of rock engineering at the National and even International level. This conference will offer an inclusive plateform for stakeholders to share, discuss, and even challenge new developments and standard practices. All of this will take place in the culturally vibrant city of Montreal in mid-August at walking distance from the touristic vieux port and from Bonaventure train station.
Technical Themes
The conference themes target modern and upcoming challenges with rock mechanics and rock engineering. The conference aims to bring together the community to showcase recent developments and discuss important perspectives on the following technical avenues:
​
-
Intact rock characterization and laboratory testing
-
Rock mass characterization and scale effect evaluation
-
Numerical modelling in Rock Mechanic
-
Mining geomechanics
-
Innovations in rock engineering and rock mechanic practices.
