A summer school on the Modelling of Landslides and Debris Flow, aimed at early stage researchers (i.e. PhD students), organized and funded by the MUMOLADE [www.mumolade.com] ITN network, will be hosted this September at BOKU University, Vienna. The scientific programme provides key lectures on computational plasticity (R. Borja), unsaturated soil mechanics (C. Tamagnini, P. Delage), and the behavior of a granular flow (C. Fang). For more information on the programme and full grants please visit the summer school’s website [www.baunat.boku.ac.at/22552.html].
The deadline for applications is 18 August 2013.
