The Greek Tunnelling Society, following the decision of the International Tunneling Association (ITA-AITES) to establish the “Young Members Group”  for young professionals in the field of tunnels and underground works, decided to create the Greek “Young Members Group” (GTS - YM) in 2014. It is attended by young professionals, who will also be the future executives of the companies in the sector.

The main objectives of GTS - YM are:

  • To record and communicate existing experience and knowledge in design, construction, operation and maintenance of tunnels and underground structures in Greece and where Greek professionals have been active.
  • To disseminate information related to the development and implementation of new technologies and methods of underground projects.
  • To act as a forum for young members within GTS, keep a direct relationship with the Young Members Groups of the ITA, and attract new members in other GTS Working Groups.
  • To facilitate access of young professionals to career opportunities in tunnelling and underground construction in Greece and abroad.
  • To inform students in school and university for the conditions, prospects and opportunities in the industry of tunnels and underground works.
  • To organize educational and training events for young professionals.
  • To organize visits to relevant construction sites in Greece and abroad.

 

The composition of the Steering Committee of the GTS Young Members Group (GTS-YM) has been formed as of April 4, 2025, as follows:
