The programme of the ALERT Doctoral School in Aussois (1-3 October 2015), entitled Coupled and multiphysics phenomena, has been fixed by the organizers – Bernhard Schrefler (Università degli Studi di Padova), Lorenzo Sanavia (Università degli Studi di Padova) and Frederic Collin (Université de Liège). It can be downloaded as a pdf-file.
As announced already in October 2014, ALERT Workshop 2015 (26th Edition) will be held in Aussois from September 28 to September 30, 2015. Please submit your abstracts by email directly to the coordinators using the Workshop abstract form (doc, odt, pdf).
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, 2015. For any communication about your participation to the workshops, please contact directly the coordinators of the workshop sessions.
The posters that have been presented during the 25th ALERT workshop are now available on a dedicated page. The booklet of the poster session (ISBN 978-2-9542517-2-1) can be downloaded here.
The presentations of the ALERT workshop 2014 are now available online.
Like in the previous years, a collection of photographs by David Mašín documents the Workshop of ALERT Geomaterials in Aussois 2014. The focus is on the PhD prize (a report will follow) and the Special lecture by Prof. Itai Einav. Thanks, David!
The invited Special Lecture during the ALERT Workshop 2015 will be presented by Prof. Hans Muhlhaus from the University of Queensland. The envisaged title of his talk is Mechanical and hydraulic instabilities in Geomechanics.
