Scope and general information

Following the previous W(H)YDOC workshops organised in Paris (2002, 2005, 2008, 2012), the scope of W(H)YDOC 15 is to bring together young doctors in geomechanics within an informal three days invited Workshop to allow for the presentation of the researches carried out during their PhD thesis.

The workshop is aimed at favouring informal and constructive exchanges about recent research results and ideas. No specific research topics are suggested, in order to highlight the variety of the researches presently carried out in the invited universities. The number of contributions has been limited so as to allow for individual presentations and discussions of all contributions. 

Internationally well known Professors also participate to the workshop. In 2015, keynote lectures will be delivered by:
  • Prof. Antonio Gens (UPC Barcelona), 
  • Prof. Christopher Spiers (U. Utrecht),
  • Prof. Henri Van Damme (MIT-CNRS).

In 2015, 18 selected PhD students from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, UK and USA will present their  work.

The W(H)YDOC 2015 Prize will be given to the best presentation made during the workshop. 

Any interested person is warmly encouraged to attend the Workshop. Participation to the workshop is free but registration is mandatory.
