A mini-symposium on Micro-scale and field-scale modeling of underground storage of wastes and hydrocarbons will be organized within the 5th Biot Conference on Poromechanics. For details, see http://biot2013.conf.tuwien.ac.at/programme/mini-symposia.html.
From the 17th to 21st September 2012 the Olek Zienkiewicz Course (ALERT Doctoral Summerschool) entitled Constitutive Modelling of Soils took place in Dresden. 42 participants from 15 countries were listening to the presentations of four lecturers – Professors David Muir Wood (Dundee), Claudio Tamagnini (Perugia), David Mašín (Prague), Ivo Herle (Dresden) – and working out computer exercises using the software Octave.
A mini-symposium on the topic “From geological conditions to numerical modeling of underground excavations” in the forthcoming 3rd International Conference on Computational Methods in Tunneling and Subsurface Engineering (EURO:TUN 2013) will be held at Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany, from April 17.-19. 2013.

International Workshop on Geomechanics and Energy to be held in Lausanne (Switzerland) on 26-28 November 2013, under the auspices of EAGE. The goal of the workshop is to discuss the most recent contributions of geomechanics to various fields of energy. The areas of interest are related to geomechanical applications in (i) hydrocarbon exploration and production, (ii) interactions between wastes and earth, and (iii) geothermal energy. This workshop has general appeal to everybody involved in geomechanical engineering of energy geo-systems. Additional information may be found on the attached flyer and on the workshop website http://eage.org/events/index.php?eventid=890&Opendivs=s3.
