LARAM – the International School on ”LAndslide Risk Assessment and Mitigation” (for PhD students and Young Doctors) is an annual event that provides training for early career researchers working in the fields of Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Engineering Geology or with a similar Engineering background.  It is held in Salerno in September each year.  Several of my PhD students and post-docs have attended – without exception they have found it to be an invaluable experience.

The call has just gone out for the course in 2013., which will be held from 2nd to 14th September.  Details are here – do apply if you qualify.  There are places for 40 PhD students and 20 recently qualified post-doctoral researchers.
