Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the 8th International Symposium on Pressuremeters (ISP8), marking the 70th anniversary of this esteemed conference series that takes place from September 2nd to 5th, 2025 at the University of Luxembourg.
The symposium will provide an excellent platform to exchange knowledge and experiences among contractors, manufacturers, geotechnical engineers from design offices, scientists, and academics. A technical exhibition will showcase the latest methods, technologies, and cutting-edge testing equipment and materials.
We also invite you to visit the ISP8 website, available in both English and French, at: https://isp8-pressio2025.com
We invite the researchers and practitioners to submit abstracts on topics relevant to the symposium’s themes. The deadline for the submission of the abstract is on 1st December 2024, and all necessary details on submission of the abstract and can be found here.
All papers accepted by the scientific committee will be published in the Symposium Proceedings, which will be made available during the event.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to ISP8 and hope to welcome you all in Luxembourg.
Should you have any questions or require further information, please don’t hesitate to contact us at arash.lavasan@uni.lu.

How to join Aussois by train – ALERT Meeting 2024
Dear colleagues,
We are getting close to the start of the ALERT Workshop. A few details about your journey to Aussois:
As last year, the railroad line between Saint Jean de Maurienne and Modane is closed due to a rock slope instabillity. This is why there is no TGV between Paris and Modane.
You can get to Modane by taking a train between Chambéry and Saint Jean de Maurienne and then a bus to Modane.
When you arrive in Modane by bus, there are cabs to call:
– Taxi Haute Maurienne: +33 4.79.20.51.57
– Lionnel transport: +33 6.09.68.39.91
– Gros : +33 6.60.38.01.23
– Mont Taxi: +33 6.60.47.03.06
– Alpes Taxi: +33 6.31.55.82.71
As in previous years, we have organized a direct bus service between Saint Jean de Maurienne (at the bus station) and Aussois on Sunday September 29. It will leave Saint Jean at 16h. Another bus is planned at 19h40.
See you soon in Aussois,
