Networking
Activities

Networking Activities (NA) are a core element of GEOLAB, culminating in workshops and other outreach events that foster a digital and In Real Life community, thereby providing a productive channel to communicate with the different stakeholder groups. GEOLAB will showcase effective data output and project results through our website and knowledge platform and will facilitate coordination and promote collaboration across Critical Infrastructure (CI) research and industry organisations.

November/December 2021

Upcoming workshops

The themed networking events for stakeholders and the reinforcement of partnerships are vital to GEOLAB in order to further explore research needs, identify high potential technologies and facilitate interaction. These will enable advances in capabilities of the Research Infrastructure and key projects will be presented to stimulate ideas for TA Projects.

An Introduction to GEOLAB’s Geotechnical Research Facilities and How to Apply for Access - 23/06/2021

An Introduction to GEOLAB’s Geotechnical Research Facilities and How to Apply for Access, the project’s first webinar, took on June 23rd, and welcomed over 130 attendees from 28 countries, representing 75 different organisations.

The objective of this first GEOLAB webinar was to highlight the features of the unique experiment installations available in the GEOLAB research infrastructure and the call for proposals mechanisms. 

GEOLAB provides a comprehensive suite of 11 complementary installations equipping the users from academia and industry with renowned tools for excellent research for the energy, water, urban and transport infrastructure sector. The installations were specifically selected to ensure a wide range of capabilities to address problems across experiment scales, disciplinary boundaries and Technology Readiness Levels (TRL). The research infrastructure installations are used to study the following:

  • Ground stability related issues, e.g. consolidation, seepage, liquefaction, (coastal) erosion and slope stability.
  • Water-soil-structure interaction, e.g. for roads, railways, tunnels, bridges, dams, foundations, buildings and buried cables & pipelines.
  • Interaction of infrastructure systems with the environment, e.g. impact of climate change, extreme weather events, geo-hazards, static & dynamic loading and aging.
