We have an open position as a secretary to support the Institute for Structural Analysis starting as soon as possible. The job description and the application link is available at https://www.pse.kit.edu/english/karriere/joboffer.php?id=165040
We invite researchers to contribute to MS 23, titled “Uncertain Fields and Processes in Structural Mechanics” at the 11th GACM Colloquium on Computational Mechanics for Young Scientists from Academia and Industry, which will take place from September 21-25 2025 in Braunschweig.
The abstract for the minisymposium can be found here: https://colloquia.gacm.de/organisation/minisymposium/ms23.
We aim to encourage discussions from various perspectives and highlight the importance of uncertainty quantification in structural mechanics.
The deadline for abstract submission is April 17, 2025. Further details about the event can be found at https://colloquia.gacm.de/organisation.
We look forward to your contributions and to meeting you at the 11th GACM in Braunschweig!
