Next Generation
Researchers

Several Networking Activities within the GEOLAB project are targeted at educating and training the Next Generation (NG) of researchers and engineers. These candidates will acquire the ability to better assess the added value of physical modelling and use the physical modelling tools in combination with data and numerical modelling for science and engineering. Developing the skills of these future research leaders ensures that we have an impact on future research and innovation.

To this aim, three basic training workshops will be organised within the duration of the GEOLAB project. There will be an open call for participants for each training workshop, with travel and subsistence funds for 15 researchers and ten spaces for those willing to self fund their attendance.

In the framework of the NG training workshops, the GEOLAB community is committed to developing and improving the skills and knowledge of these researchers and engineers in the following key areas:

• Experiments with the GEOLAB installations with focus on scaling issues, experimental design, measurement techniques and interpretation
• Physical modelling of CI subjected to external processes such as climate change, geo-hazard and aging
• Use of data collection tools and data processing and analyses techniques, including software protocols
• Examples of interaction between physical modelling, numerical modelling, and engineering solutions
