Educational Activities The "Educational Activities Committee", EAC is responsible for RILEM activities in the field of education. Within this area RILEM EAC is responsible for tasks such as: 1. Proposition of new RILEM educational activities 2. Approval of new RILEM educational activities, providing general organizational guidelines and giving advice to the host 3. Monitoring of on-going RILEM educational activities 4. Review of completed RILEM educational activities 5. Serving as the contact point for educational activities outside RILEM A RILEM member may propose an educational activity to be sponsored by RILEM EAC by submitting a proposal to the RILEM EAC chair or secretary. The sponsorship is a scientific sponsorship, i.e. it is an acknowledgement of the educational qualities of the event but it does not involve financial support from RILEM. Activities that RILEM EAC sponsor include in particular Doctoral courses and short seminars for the profession (practicing engineers), and Educational publications (including text books). Past activities are listed on the following page and you can also find information about upcoming activities on EAC calendar under the banner Events / Educational courses.
In addition to a number of single events RILEM is scientifically sponsoring several doctoral course series. These typically have one occurrence per year which will be announced in this calendar when the dates are fixed. The course series include:
- NIST computer modeling workshop (Jeff Bullard, NIST, Washington, USA)
- Multi Scale modeling of Concrete (MMC) (Eduard Koenders, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands)
- Concrete Microscopy Course (CMC) (Oguzhan Copuroglu, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands)
- Nanocem doctoral school (Karen Scrivener, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland)
- Doctoral courses on Construction Materials (Ole Mejlhede Jensen, Technical University of Denmark, Denmark)
- Chemistry of cement and concrete (Doug Hooton, Toronto University, Canada) - Modeling of Localized Inelastic Deformation (Milan Jirásek, Czech Technical University, Czech Republic) List of Educational Activities events in 2014: | May or June: | Chemistry of cement and concrete |
