A bus will also be planned to drive you back to the station at the end of the school but more information will arrive later.
See you soon in Aussois !
The Transport Research Centre is organising the International Young Professionals Workshop on Road-Rail Infrastructure (Hybrid), 26th November 2021, Sydney, as we are now taking Registrations (https://events.humanitix.com/trc).
The workshop will showcase the recent advances in the field of Transport Infrastructure with special reference to ground engineering and the utilisation of novel construction materials. Research students and young professionals will present a range of emerging themes focused on the advancement of rail geotechnology and pavement engineering, including topics covering soil-structure interaction, embankment and substructure design, track construction materials, ground improvement and moving load dynamics.
We invite you all to check the Programme at our website https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/our-research/transport-research-centre/events/international-young-professionals-workshop.
For further information, please contact christine.smith-1@uts.edu.au.
Grenoble – 31st January to 4th February 2022
Important societal issues require to solve problems of increasing complexity. A key vector of progress relies on multi-scale and multi-physics approaches. The objective of the winter school is to review the different approaches, numerical and experimental techniques to tackle the complexity of today’s engineering problems. All the courses are illustrated through various up-to-date examples. Two days are devoted to practical laboratory work on «high-tech demonstrators» , combining experiments and numerical modeling. The last day of the school is dedicated to a particular theme. This year this day will be dedicated to “mechanics at the nanoscale”.

Dear ALERT community,
As you may know, the registration for the ALERT Workshop and School 2021 is open! The preliminary program of the Workshop and School is available here.
It was decided to propose you two alternatives for your registration to the workshop and doctoral school: either you can come and participate in Aussois, or you can attend those remotely.
UNFORTUNATELY, the number of participants that can come to Aussois is limited to 160, and has been reached. The only registration possible from now on is therefore remotely.
ABOUT THE SANITARY CONDITIONS
As a reminder, the restrictions for entering France will depend on your country of departure and your vaccination status (more information here and here).
Your stay (and access) at the CNRS “Centre Paul Langevin” where the event takes place is conditional on the presentation of a HEALTH PASS upon your arrival. This means that you must have at least one of the following documents:
More information can be found here. For members of “green list countries” (see the website), a sworn statement attesting to the absence of symptoms of covid-19 infection and contact with a confirmed case of covid-19 is also required. You can find it here.
Furthermore, the center has implemented a strict health protocol, providing for the wearing of masks in all premises and common areas in order to guarantee the safety of all. The full health and safety protocol can be accessed here, please read it before your arrival.
LAST REMINDER
Please read the hints in the registration form! After filling the form and pressing the button “Register”, a window will open with your invoice. Please print the window with the invoice for your records! You will also get an email with the registration data afterwards. If you are an ALERT members, the corresponding representative of your ALERT institution will receive the registration data too.

Looking forward to (safely) meeting you in Aussois!
In the week 11 – 16 October 2021 the second edition of the Mediterranean PhD School will be held. It is organized by the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering of the University of Naples Federico II. This year the event, which will focus on the theme “EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL. CONTRIBUTIONS FROM CIVIL, ARCHITECTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING”, will be held online and will be completely free of charge.
Regarding Geotechnical Engineering, the lectures will be held by Professors Antonio Gens (UPC Barcelona) and Lyesse Laloui (EPFL Lausanne). The works will end with a round table discussion coordinated by Prof. Gianpiero Russo (University of Naples Federico II).
PhD students, in addition to attending lectures, will participate in application activities. By registering by September 17, they will be able to present scientific contributions relevant to the theme of the School, which is dedicated to the European Green Deal and the transition to zero climate impact engineering (e.g. Geothermal energy and its applications) and develop an exercise project. There are prizes of 600 euros each for the best 8 presentations and 3000 euros for the group that will have developed the best project.
