We are also delighted to announce that Prof. Lidija Zdravkovic from Imperial College London will deliver a special lecture entitled “Geotechnical Engineering for a Sustainable Society” on the afternoon of 5th November (in the Aula Magna “Domus Sapientiae”, Politecnico di Bari).

We invite you to participate in RootS25 and to submit a written contribution.

All relevant information is provided in the bulletin and also in the “Call for Contribution” page of roots-25.com.
