INVITATION

On behalf of the organizing committee, I am delighted to invite you to participate to the International Conference on Advances in Rock Mechanics (TuniRock 2026) to be held in Hammamet, Tunisia, on April 09-12, 2026. This Conference aims at bringing together researchers and engineers around the most recent advances in Rock mechanics and Rock engineering applications. The exciting program that the Tunisian Society for Rock Mechanics prepared includes technical and scientific sessions, keynote lectures, one-day workshops and technical field trips. We believe that you will also enjoy participating to post-Conference excursions in the region. The participants will have a chance not only to discuss technical issues but also to socialize during the conference dinners and discuss future events. The attendance of experts in rock mechanics will result in formation of a very strong technical program on Rock mechanics advances and will also provide guidance for the next conferences

Chairman of TuniRock 2026
