ALERT Workshop 2016 – Call for abstracts

As announced already in October 2015, the ALERT Workshop 2016 (27th Edition) will be held in Aussois from October 3 to October 5, 2016. Please submit your abstracts by email directly to the coordinators using the Workshop abstract form (doc, odt, pdf). If you wish to publish your presentation after the Workshop on the ALERT website, do not forget to agree by ticking the corresponding box in the abstract form.

Since time for the presentations is limited, only a part of the submitted abstracts can be chosen for the oral presentations. Therefore, we invite you to submit your abstract as soon as possible. The presentation can also be submitted as a poster. The abstracts of the posters will be published in a separate booklet (ISSN registered).

The deadline for the abstract submission is April 30, 2016. For any communication about your participation to the workshops, please contact the coordinators of the workshop sessions directly.

W(H)YDOC 2015

Following the previous W(H)YDOC workshops organised in Paris (200220052008, 2012), the scope of W(H)YDOC 15 is to bring together young doctors in geomechanics within an informal three days invited Workshop to allow for the presentation of the researches carried out during their PhD thesis.

The workshop is aimed at favouring informal and constructive exchanges about recent research results and ideas. No specific research topics are suggested, in order to highlight the variety of the researches presently carried out in the invited universities. The number of contributions has been limited so as to allow for individual presentations and discussions of all contributions.

Internationally well known Professors also participate to the workshop. In 2015, keynote lectures will be delivered by:
  • Prof. Antonio Gens (UPC Barcelona),
  • Prof. Christopher Spiers (U. Utrecht),
  • Prof. Henri Van Damme (MIT-CNRS).

In 2015, 18 selected PhD students from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, UK and USA will present their  work.

The W(H)YDOC 2015 Prize will be given to the best presentation made during the workshop.

Any interested person is warmly encouraged to attend the Workshop. Participation to the workshop is free but registration is mandatory.

Further information are provided on the website of W(H)YDOC 2015.
