Dear all,

I hope you are keeping well! This is the last reminder to register for the 14^th Euroconference on Rock Physics and Rock Mechanics. The deadline is on the 20^th of August 2021, and you can register via the conference website: https://www.euroconference2021.org/Registration. The conference will run virtually via the Zoom platform and will also include some social time via Gather. Town.

Best wishes,

Elma Charalampidou,

Chair of the 14^th Euroconference on Rock Physics and Rock Mechanics

Dear colleagues,

We have decided to extend the abstract submission deadline for the 10th Conference on the Mechanical Behavior of Salt (SaltMech X) to Friday the 27th of August. Abstracts can be submitted here: https://www.saltmech.com/abstract-submission-smx/.

Check the SaltMech X website http://www.saltmech.com/ for more information on future important dates and procedures, the venue, accommodation and travel.

We hope you will consider attending and contributing to SaltMech X, here in the Netherlands!

In the week from 11 to 16 October 2021, the second edition of the Mediterranean Phd School, organized by the Department of Civil, Building and Environmental Engineering of the University of Naples Federico II, will be held. This year, the event will focus on the theme “EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL. CONTRIBUTIONS FROM CIVIL, ARCHITECTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING”; it will be held online and will be completely free.

As regards engineering geology and geotechnical engineering, lectures will be given by proff. Paolo Fabbri (Padua University), Antonio Gens (UPC Barcelona) and Lyesse Laloui (EPFL Lausanne). Works will end with a round table coordinated by prof. Gianpiero Russo (University of Naples Federico II).

Phd students, in addition to attending lessons, will participate in application activities and may request to present scientific contributions related to the theme of the School. Prizes for the best presentations are planned.

More information is available on this flyer.

The Phd students interested in the event are already invited to register, using the following link:

Mediterranean PhD School – DICEA – Dipartimento di Eccellenza (unina.it)

Furthermore, in the “Documents” section, you can download: the program of the lessons in excel format (Timetable) and the application form (Application form).
