RESUMEN: ¿Cuál será el rol de la ingeniería geotecnica en las próximas generaciones? ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que deberá enfrentar un ingeniero geotécnico en los próximos 50 años? ¿Qué necesita y necesitará la sociedad en referencia a problemas por resolver relacionados con la geotecnia? Estas son algunas de las preguntas que motivaron el pensamiento del autor sobre hacia donde se dirige la ingeniería geotecnica en los campos de investigación, educación, diseño y tendencias futuras. Este artículo refleja el pensamiento del autor, enriquecido por valiosas conversaciones con colegas y estudiantes de posgrado, que han permitido desarrollar ideas básicas que no pretenden ser una apología del futuro sino por el contrario despertar el interés de la sociedad geotécnica en discutir la relevancia y el rol de la geotecnia frente a un mundo cambiante.
