REGISTRATION FEE
PARTICIPATION OPTIONS
SELECTION
The selection of the participants will be based on an evaluation of the candidate’s curriculum – including academic performance, previous research experience and publications – and on the content of the recommendation letter(s) in relation to the PhD year, the field of expertise and the research topic.
Note. In exceptional cases, it will be allowed that some extra students, additional to the 40, will attend remotely, but only for documented reasons. For those candidates, the application is still mandatory, and participation will be allowed upon selection. While uploading the CV, include also a page explaining the reasons for remote participation.
The list of selected students will be issued by the end of May 2023.
Best regards,
LARAM Team
The ALERT Workshop 2023 (33rd Edition) should be held in Aussois from 25th to 27th September, 2023. Abstracts can now be submitted for the sessions. Please submit your abstracts by email directly to the coordinators using the Workshop abstract form (doc). 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 May 19, 2023. For any communication about your participation to the workshops, please contact the coordinators of the workshop sessions directly.
Here is a reminder of the workshop sessions as well as a short description of each of them. The call for abstract is open for the Session 1 and Session 3 only:
The ALERT Doctoral School 2023 will take place from the 28th September to 30th September 2023.
The theme is “Machine Learning (ML) in Geomechanics”, and the school is coordinated by Ioannis Stefanou and Félix Darve.
The objective of this doctoral school is to explain what Machine Learning is, what its main methods are and how can it be used for solving real-case problems in geomechanics, in particular, and in solid mechanics, in general. Lectures and hands-on exercises using regression and classification ML methods, supervised and unsupervised ML techniques, Artificial Neural Networks, deep learning and model reduction techniques will be taught.
The students will:
Requirements for the students:
For those interested in participating in the doctoral school, a short poll is available in order to get some information about your expectations from this school and ML: see the poll here.
The online registration for the ALERT School will open in July and will be announced on the website.
DEM9 can accommodate up to 6 mini-symposia. If you wish to organize a mini-symposium (5 presentations of 30 minutes), please propose:
– a title of the mini-symposium and
– a short description, including scope and objectives
– by April 30, 2023.
The decision will be made by May 15.
