ALERT-Geomaterials (Alliance of Laboratories in Europe for Education, Research and Technology – Geomaterials) is a non-profit association aiming to promote research collaboration and advanced education in geomechanics.
Overview Founded in 1989 as a European school of thought in the field of the Mechanics of Geomaterials, ALERT-Geomaterials currently includes 40 universities and research institutes. [1] It promotes collaborative research initiatives and advanced education in the field of geomechanics. Through workshops, doctoral schools, awards and scientific publications, the association annually supports doctoral education, fostering collaboration and disseminating scientific knowledge among European research institutions. The association is governed by the ALERT Bureau and a Board of Directors elected every 3 years by representatives of the member institutions.
History ALERT-Geomaterials was established in 1989, building on earlier cooperation among European researchers within the French CNRS research group GRECO “Géomatériaux” and through related European collaborations. GRECO Géomatériaux had brought together researchers working on the mechanics of soils, rocks and other geomaterials.[2] Félix Darve, Professor at INP Grenoble and one of the founders of ALERT, was the first director of both CNRS GRECO “Geomaterials” and ALERT-Geomaterials. During the 1990s and early 2000s, ALERT operated both as a scientific network and within European research programs. The association established a doctoral thesis prize in 2006, which was renamed the Vardoulakis Prize in 2009 in honour of Professor Ioannis Vardoulakis[3], who passed away prematurely that same year[4]. In 2006, ALERT-Geomaterials formally became a non-profit association (under the French law of 1 July 1901). [5]
Activities The core activities of the association are the annual one-week in-presence meeting in Aussois, France, which includes a 3-day workshop and a 3-day doctoral school.[6] [7] [8]During the ALERT workshop, a distinguished scientist outside of ALERT is invited to deliver a Special Lecture.[9] Moreover, since 2008 ALERT organizes an annual Olek Zienkiewicz Course, a 4-day in-presence doctoral school organized by one of the member institutions of ALERT.
