The conference MWD2025 has three priority themes:

● Theme 1 – MWD to optimize the drilling process

• Improvements and innovations in sensor technology
• Proper selection and installation of monitoring equipment
• Optimal drilling techniques for various geological conditions
• Effects of drilling techniques on monitored parameters
• Support and training for seasoned and new drillers
• Machine learning
• Standardization

● Theme 2 –MWD for foundation elements

• MWD assisted deep foundation construction (e.g. drilled shafts, mini-piles, auger cast piles,)
• Monitoring systems and sensors
• QA/QC using MWD
• MWD-based foundation design

● Theme 3 – Analysis of MWD  

• Data processing and filtering
• Data management (e.g. DIGGS)
• Real-time assessment of drilling parameters for stratigraphic profiling
• Correlations of MWD data to geotechnical properties
• Development or improvement of empirical methods for assessing soil and rock properties
• Innovative use of MWD data
