Tohoku University

This international symposium is a biennial conference. It began in 2018 at Tongji
University (China), and the second conference was held in 2020 at the Universityof Edinburgh (UK) with the title “The International Symposium on Seismic
Performance and Design of Slopes (ISSPDS)”. In order to cover wider research
topics of slopes, the title was changed to “The 3rd International Symposium onRisk Assessment and Sustainable Stability Design of Slopes (ISRSS)”. The
symposium has been a successful platform for bringing together academic
scientists, leading engineers, and students all over the world to exchange andshare their experiences and research results about risk assessment and stability
design of slopes. The symposium mainly covers following topics, but otherrelated topics are also welcome.
