Photographs from the ALERT PhD Prize and Special Lecture 2015
David Mašín (Charles University, Prague) was so kind again and documented with a few photographs the atmosphere around the ALERT PhD Prize ceremony (winner: Anna Ramon Tarragona from UPC Barcelona) and of the ALERT Special Lecture delivered by Professor Hans Mühlhaus (University of Queensland).

ALERT Workshop 2015 – extended deadline
The deadline for the submission of abstracts for the ALERT Geomaterials Workshop 2015 (26th Edition) has been extended up to May 31, 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.
