The 10th ALERT Olek Zienkiewicz Winterschool 2018: Natural versus compacted clayey soils: from micro to macro behaviour and modelling will be held from the 5th to the 9th of November 2018 in Bari, Italy.
The Winterschool is organised by the Alliance of Laboratories in Europe for Education, Research and Technology (ALERT), the Politecnico di Bari and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. It will focus on the hydro-mechanics of clayey soils, either natural, or compacted, and provide knowledge about their genesis and consequent features at the micro to meso-scale, and about how their macro-response varies with the micro to meso-features.

The presentations (that have been provided to the ALERT bureau) of the ALERT Workshop 2017 and the ALERT Doctoral School 2017 are now available online.
The accompanying book of the Doctoral School can be downloaded here.
The Ioannis Vardoulakis PhD Prize 2017 was granted to Anne-Catherine Dieudonné from Université de Liège (Belgium) and to Xiusong Shi from Technische Universität Dresden (Germany). The award ceremony and the presentation of the theses took place during the workshop in Aussois this year.
As every year, information on the chosen PhD(‘s) thesis/theses can be found on the corresponding website.
David Mašín (Charles University, Prague) has documented the atmosphere of the ALERT PhD prize ceremony (winners are Anne-Catherine Dieudonné from Université de Liège and Xiusong Shi from Technische Universität Dresden) and the special lecture (given by Prof. William G. Gray) with photographs. Thanks, David!
