ISSMGE is launching its Fifth Webinar of the year ! Dear Colleagues around the Globe, It was a great pleasure meeting some of you at the council meeting in Edinburgh last month. As you know, during that meeting, it was agreed to issue our announcements on the first Monday of each month . However, an exception is being made this time for practical reasons. In about 2 weeks , the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) with great pleasure will be launching a very nice webinar on a very exciting subject regarding Soil Dynamics and Seismic Geotechnical Engineering, given by Prof. George Gazetas (from the Technical University of Athens). All Webinars are Free of Charge in an effort to assist geotechnical engineers worldwide and to promote our profession. As a Member Society officer receiving this email, action is required from your side as mentioned at the end of this message. You are welcome to attend and highly encouraged to invite all geotechnical & civil engineers as well as students to do the same. Please distribute this message as soon as possible and as much as you can! This Webinar will be launched on the 29th day of October 2015 @12 noon GMT. lt will be then followed by a 2-day Q&A session that, like the webinar video, can also be viewed anytime later on via our ISSMGE Website. AS a reminder, you can view all previous webinars published on our website for FREE!
