The LARAM 2021 school<\/h4>\n

LARAM<\/a> (“LAndslide Risk Assessment and Mitigation”) is an international training programme run by the Geotechnical Engineering Group (GEG) of the University of Salerno<\/a>.\u00a0 This is a long running training scheme that brings together early career professionals for a two week intense period.\u00a0 The course is taught by eminent landslide scientists.\u00a0 It serves two key purposes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It equips cadres of early career researchers with the skills that the need to make a substantial contribution to landslide science;<\/li>\n
  2. It creates international cohorts of researchers, enabling collaboration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The LARAM organisers describe the school as follows:<\/p>\n

    For each edition of the school, 40 PhD students are selected to attend the residential courses, selected among applicants working in civil engineering, environmental engineering, engineering geology or related fields. The School can be also attended by some Young Doctors who defended their PhD thesis in the previous 5 years.<\/em><\/p>\n

    The courses include formal lessons, tutorials and field training.<\/em><\/p>\n

    The 2021 version of LARAM will run from 6 to 17 September 2021.\u00a0 Unfortunately, in these pandemic times it is having to run in online format.\u00a0 However, there is no doubt that it will be an exceptionally worthwhile event.<\/p>\n

    Details of the 2021 programme are now available<\/a>.\u00a0 Applications are also invited from both PhD students and those recently graduated with a doctoral degree:<\/p>\n
