The Laboratory of Soil Mechanics of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (LMS- EPFL) is pleased to announce The 3rd edition of the Winter School dedicated to Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment.
The event will be held from 21st to 23rd of January 2020 in Villars-sur-Ollon in the heart of the Vaud Alps (Switzerland).
Continue readingWe would like to make you aware of a mini-symposium we are organizing for WCCM-ECCOMAS in 2020, to be held in Paris on July 19-24, 2020. The symposium is entitled “Computational Geomechanics”, and focuses on modeling aspects related to geological materials. A full description can be found at https://www.wccm-eccomas2020.org/admin/Files/FileAbstract/a280.pdf.
We would be honored if you could contribute to our mini-symposium. The abstract submissions are open now and the deadline for submission is Dec 15, 2019: https://www.wccm-eccomas2020.org/frontal/Autor.asp. After you login, there is a template for abstracts.
Please can you forward this to any colleagues who might be interested in attending
We look forward to hearing from you and to meeting you at the conference.
Best regards,

Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee and the International Scientific Committee, we would like to invite you to organize mini-symposia for the upcoming ASCE joint EMI-PMC 2020 conference at Columbia University in the City of New York, May 26-29, 2020.
Continue readingHere is a very nice initiative by the TC105 of the ISSMGE: https://www.issmge.org/news/tc105-dem-round-robin-test
We hope that many groups from the ALERT-Geomaterials community will join this initiative!
Please note that the deadline to show an expression of interest to join the activity is November 30, 2019.
We are delighted to invite you to speak in our mini-symposium, Acoustic Waves and Effective Mechanical Properties in Granular Media – the Mircromechanical Perspective, at the 14th World Congress in Computational Mechanics (https://www.wccm-eccomas2020.org/frontal/) to be held next July in Paris, FR.
The aim of the symposium is to bring together a broad range of specialists in the experimental, numerical simulation and theoretical modelling of granular materials in order to facilitate valuable knowledge exchange, and form fruitful new collaborations between modellers and experimentalists. A full description of the symposium can be found in the link given below:
