LIAG and BGR to host the 2026 Ground-Penetrating Radar Round Table in Hanover

The 16th Ground-Penetrating Radar Round Table will be hosted by the LIAG Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG) and the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) at their shared site at the Geozentrum Hannover. The event is aimed at scientists, engineers and ground-penetrating radar users. Its objective is to discuss new scientific findings, interesting applications and open questions in the field of ground-penetrating radar. Ground-penetrating radar enables rapid, non-destructive and high-resolution investigation of the near surface subsurface. The method is particularly suitable for imaging structures, layer boundaries and cavities without disturbing the ground.

The conference programme will take place from the morning of 1 October 2026 until around midday on 2 October 2026. A small icebreaker event is planned for the evening before the conference, on 30 September, and a joint dinner will be held on 1 October at a brewery in Hanover.

The organisers aim to achieve a balanced mix of contributions from practical applications as well as from research and development. As in previous years, the participation fee is expected to be around EUR 80.

Registration for presentations and/or attendance will be possible from May 2026 via the following website.
The deadline for conference registration and submission of contributions is the end of July.

A reminder will be sent in due course via an email distribution list. For registration, please contact: RTG2026(at)liag-institut.de
