GROWING WITH THE ICGSM
Since 2014 the International Course on Geotechnical and Structural Monitoring (IcGSM) has been an international training event specifically focused on the role of monitoring in geotechnical and structural engineering. The past editions, held every year from 2014 to 2023, have attracted more than 700 participants from 60 countries in six continents. More than 50 companies that manufacture hardware, software and provide services for geotechnical and structural monitoring have taken advantage of the ICGSMs to showcase their products.
We organized and directed the first three courses in the beautiful castle of Poppi in Tuscany. For the last three we moved to Rome in order to accommodate the increasing number of attendees. The courses have covered contact and remote sensing monitoring methods, wireless networks, new trends and case histories, and have included field trips. In addition to technical factors, emphasis has been given to the all-important human factors.
Although 2020 we stopped due to the Covid-19 pandemic, in 2021 we decided to organise the 7th ICGSM in online format.
The latest edition of the International Course on Geotechnical and Structural Monitoring (9th ICGSM) reshaped its structure offering 5 rich days of events including: a major opening seminar held at the Aula Magna of Sapienza University of Rome, 10 masterclasses, 2 field trips and a wide EXPO area that welcomed 30 companies and 250+ participants and visitors from 20+ countries.
For the 10th anniversary of ICGSM 2024 we are planning an interesting and jaw-dropping event with a few surprises…
Join us in the celebration of the 10th ICGSM

PAST VENUE
POPPI, TUSCANY (ed. 2014, 2015, 2016)
Poppi certainly is the most distinctive village and symbol of Casentino. Medieval center that still keep intact its walls, Poppi is placed at the top of a hill and its Castle of the Counts of the Guidi family dominates the village and a good part of the valley. The history of Poppi is closely linked to that of its family, one of the largest families of central Italy of the Middle Ages, which made Poppi the political and administrative capital of the Casentino (“Poppi, the capital of the Casentino valley” is written in the Giorgio Vasari’s fresco in Palazzo Vecchio, Florence).
Symbol of the village obviously is the Castle of the Counts Guidi, that stands at the top of Poppi; not less interesting are the numerous churches of the village, first of all, the one of San Fedele, which hosts a crucifix made by Giotto.
ROME, THE ETERNAL CITY (ed. 2017 – 2019, 2022 – 2023)
Rome, known also as Urbe, Caput Mundi and Eternal City, founded in 753 BC, has been the first great metropolis of humanity, the heart of one of the most important ancient civilizations, which influenced society, culture, language, literature, art, architecture, philosophy, religion, law and customs of the following centuries. It was the capital of the Roman Empire, which extended its dominion over the entire Mediterranean basin and most of Europe, the Papal States and the Kingdom of Italy (from 1871 to 1946).
In Rome there are so many interesting things to see and do that sometimes it is hard to decide from what to start. Rome is the result of the continuous overlapping of different architectural and urban exemplars, in a unique and charming interpenetration showing the complex relationship that the city has always established with its past, in a succession of chaotic developments, periods of decadence, rebirths and the modernization of the urban fabric.
PAST EDITIONS
“(…) a big ‘thank you’ for inviting me to participate in the Instrumentation and Monitoring Course. (…) I particularly wanted to get up to date on remote sensing and I found the contributions were just what I needed.”
JOHN BURLAND, PROFESSOR EMERITUS AT IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON
“(…) I wanted to take a moment to thank the organizers for making it such a worthwhile experience. (…) The associated exhibition was well coordinated and provided a splendid opportunity for instrumentation manufacturers and service providers alike to meet with their clients. Congratulations on both a successful and a memorable event.”
TONY SIMMONDS, GEOKON INC.
“The International Course on Geotechnical and Structural Monitoring is a great occasion to meet people coming from all over the world working in the field of structural monitoring and listen to the new applications. Everything is improved by a friendly environment and by the kindness of the organizers.”
ANDREA BELLINO, BARTEC SYSCOM
