Welcome

The EPFL is pleased to announce a Winter School dedicated to Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment. Geomechanics, Environment and Energy are increasingly related and contemporary themes. The goal of the school is to provide the participants with a deep understanding on selected topics in Geomechanics which are fundamental for applications related to Energy and the Environment.
