The first training course within the EURAD-2 Partnership has been announced:
ANCHORS (Hydraulic mechanical chemical evolution of bentonite for barriers optimisation).
📅 Dates: August 27–29, 2025
📍 Venue: University of Liège, Belgium
🎓 Format: In-person (classroom-based)
📚 Educational Level: EQF Level 7 (Master’s/post-graduate equivalent)

🔗 Details and registration: Work Package ANCHORS Training Course – EURAD School of RWM
The course programme will cover the following topics:
• Thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical (multi-physical) couplings in geomaterials
• Fundamentals of constitutive modelling
• Key challenges in numerical modelling of complex processes
• Analysis of experimental data from laboratory tests
• Interpretation of physical processes through in situ testing
The course is designed for both junior and senior professionals involved in the EURAD-2 Partnership. Researchers from outside the EURAD-2 programme are also welcome, though priority will be given to EURAD-2 participants.
Registration is also open for training sessions organised by the HARPERS project, intended for MSc and PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scientists:
