The First International Conference on Rock Dynamics and Applications (RocDyn-1) is a specialised conference devoting to the discussion on rock dynamics and engineering applications. As the first in the planned RocDyn conference series, RocDyn-1 is to summarise the state-of-the-art of rock dynamics research and its engineering applications, by highlighting the current scientific research activities and engineering application challenges. The technical presentations will cover all the aspects related to rock dynamics and engineering applications.

In 2008, the Commission on Rock Dynamics (CRD) was set up within the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM). One of the aims of the Commission is to share and exchange knowledge in rock dynamics research and engineering applications. In 2009, ISRM-CRD organised its first workshop in Lausanne, followed by subsequent workshops in Wuhan in 2010 and Beijing in 2011. The ISRM-CRD was renewed for the period of 2011-2015.

RocDyn-1 welcomes the participation of the scientists and the engineers involving in rock dynamic research and engineering practice to share, to cooperate, and to progress together.
