XIII International Symposium on Landslides – Cartagena (Colombia) – postponed to 2021
Due to the drastic measures imposed at the local and international level to control the Coronavirus, the entry of foreigners to Colombia has been forbidden since the middle of March 2020 and most probably it will be very limited until the month of June 2020 and therefore we were forced to postpone the XIII International Symposium on Landslides to February 22-26, 2021.

XXVII Convegno Nazionale di Geotecnica posticipato al 2021
Carissimi,
l’emergenza causata dal diffondersi del contagio dal COVID-19 complica ogni giorno di più la nostra vita personale e lavorativa al punto da essere ormai costretti ad un isolamento domiciliare, che ci auguriamo possa presto terminare. In questo scenario, che ogni giorno diventa sempre più preoccupante e del quale non è facile stimare la durata, il Comitato Scientifico dell’evento e il Consiglio di Presidenza dell’AGI, avendo come priorità la sicurezza e la salute dei Soci e dei Colleghi che parteciperanno al prossimo XXVII CNG, hanno deciso di spostare l’evento al periodo 7-9 luglio del 2021 in modo da consentire ai partecipanti di vivere l’evento nella consueta atmosfera di serenità e cordialità che da sempre lo caratterizza.
Tutti gli autori delle memorie saranno contattati per essere informati circa le comunicazioni relative agli articoli presentati.

Postdoc position at Delft University of Technology – Numerical modelling of cyclic soil-monopile interaction
Applications are welcome for a 2.5-years postdoc position on the numerical modelling of cyclic soil-monopile interaction in offshore wind turbines at Delft University of Technology (Netherlands). The research work will include development, set-up and calibration of 3D FE monopile models, in combination with advanced constitutive modelling of cyclic sand behaviour. Design of the numerical simulation programme, and validation of obtained results, will be carried out in close collaboration with experimentalists and industry experts. The new knowledge gained from combined physical and numerical modelling will be oriented towards the formulation and implementation of a new engineering p-y model for the analysis of large-diameter monopiles in sand under cyclic loading.
Full description of the position and instructions for applicants can be found using the following link:

For more information please contact Dr. Federico Pisanò: F.Pisano@tudelft.nl, or Dr. Amin Askarinejad: A.Askarinejad@tudelft.nl .
The closing date for applications is April 30th, 2020. Preferred starting date is November 1st, 2020.

Postdoc position at Navier Laboratory (France)
Applications are welcomed for a postdoc position in Navier Laboratory (Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, Université Gustave Eiffel, CNRS – France) on the mitigation of crystalline swelling in clays by cationic exchange. This postdoc is part of the ALLUVIUM project (I-site FUTURE) and an on-going experimental campaign using XRD identified a shortlist of promising cationic compounds. In this postdoc, we propose to complement these experiments with molecular simulations to investigate in detail the effects of cationic exchange at the nano-scale.
The position can start anytime but not later than fall 2020.

E-UNSAT 2020 Lisbon – postponed to 19-21 October 2020
Due to the COV-19 outbreak in all European countries in the last weeks, in agreement with the Chair and the Secretary of the TC-106, E-UNSAT 2020 conference to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, will be postponed. The new dates have been fixed to October 19-21, 2020.
Postponing the conference was necessary to allow for safe travelling and enjoying the event. Hopefully this delay will be enough for the emergency to be over. Further information can be found at https://eunsat2020.tecnico.ulisboa.pt
