Registration for the ALERT Geomaterials Annual Meeting is now OPEN!
Dear ALERT Community,
We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the ALERT Geomaterials Workshop and Doctoral School annual meeting: Click here to register!
The registration deadline is 12 September. Please note that no further extension will be granted.
Several new features have been implemented this year!
- The registration form has been updated to better meet current needs; payment of registration fees by card is now possible; invoices and payment receipts are sent automatically to participants; and the back-office system has been completely renewed.
Although we have taken great care with the implementation, testing, and debugging, some issues may still occur. Should this be the case, we kindly ask for your patience and encourage you to contact us. - Another important change concerns remote participation, which will no longer be possible due to the very low level of participation in previous editions.
In line with last year’s edition, the following participants are eligible for one free night of accommodation:
- PhD students from ALERT member institutions attending the Doctoral School
- Retired researchers from ALERT member institutions attending the Workshop
Please note that accommodation at the CNRS Centre Paul Langevin in Aussois will be allocated in order of registration. As the number of rooms is limited, we encourage you to register early.
For travel details, please refer to the instructions on how to get to Aussois here.
The tentative program is here.
Please read the instructions in the registration form carefully, as the modification and cancellation policy and other details are provided there. After completing the form and clicking the submit button, you will receive a confirmation email with your registration details, as well as the corresponding invoice or payment receipt in pdf.
We look forward to welcoming you to Aussois!

ALERT Poster Session 2025
The ALERT Poster session will be held on Monday September 29th during the ALERT Workshop.
To participate to the poster session, please submit your abstracts (both word/openoffice and pdf files are required) by email to the coordinators Nadia Benahmed (nadia.benahmed@inrae.fr) and Antoine Wautier (antoine.wautier@inrae.fr) using the attached abstract form (Template).
This year we are innovating by adding some poster lightning sessions in the course of the three days of the workshop. All posters will be given a 1min (mandatory) slot before the coffee breaks to advertise for their poster.
As last years, PhD candidates that have not yet defended their PhD at the time of the poster session can participate to the poster prize competition (€500) (all rules here). For those wishing to participate to the poster prize competition, please send your poster (in pdf format) at the same time as your abstract. For further details regarding poster prize rules please refere to: https://alertgeomaterials.eu/data/poster_prize/poster%20prize%20rules.pdf
The deadline for the submission of the abstract is the September 1st, 2025. The slots for the lightning session will be attributed on a “first submitted first served” principle, so don’t wait for the last minute to submit your abstract.
For the lightning sessions, you can send a single slide to support your speech. Creativity is welcome, and overcrowded slides should be avoided !
