GTS Young Members – Greek Tunnelling Society

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.
