A large number of famous scholars and scientists, particularly leading geologists attended the conference to exchange ideas and knowledge on a variety of topics related to engineering geology, geotechnical engineering, and the environment.

In addition, there were many managers, scientists, experts, representatives of departments, agencies, organizations, associations, and individuals of provinces and cities across the country. Among nearly 100 reports that were examined and edited for the Proceedings, 24 scientific reports were chosen. The topics covered in the conference included engineering geology - technical geology and hydrogeology; new construction techniques and materials; geohazards and monitoring and early warning technology; Resources - environment and digital transformation; drilling and exploitation technology.

Apart from the reports presented in the two plenary sessions, there were also reports presented in two subsessions: Session 1: Construction geology – Geotechnical Engineering, construction techniques and new materials; Session 2: Hydrogeology, environment and drilling technology.
