Dear Sirs,
I would like to inform you that from 4-5 July 2022 on the campus of Cracow University of Technology at Warszawska Street 24, the two day short course on plasticity theory in geomechanics will be held. The course is organized under the patronage of the Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Crakow University of Technology, Prof. dr hab. Eng. Andrzej Szarata and Division of Geotechnics and Underground Infrastructure of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The course will be conducted in a stationary mode. Participation in this course is free, however all other costs must be covered by the participants themselves. In particular, I cordially invite doctoral students and all those scientists who want to extend their knowledge in this area, both from the theoretical and practical side. The number of participants is limited to 30 people. I do kindly ask you to disseminate this information among your colleagues. All organizational information will be sent to registered course participants only. The official course language will be English. The lecturers in the course will be Prof. Stanisław Pietruszczak (University of Hamilton, Canada) and Prof. Andrzej Truty (Cracow University of Technology).
