EPON
Educational Portal ONline (EPON)
Educational Portal ONline (EPON) can be considered a "shop window", or a web portal for educational resources on RILEM-relevant topics including chemistry, concrete, testing, etc. Links to the various educational resources are provided, which include webinars, talks, courses, etc. This list will include recorded EAC PhD seminars. This portal is aligned with the EAC objectives of broadening the education of PhD students and the professional community through promotion of interesting and informative webinars, talks, courses, and other relevant material.
We are open to your contributions for this list. If you have material that you think would be useful in EPON, please send it to us, emailing Aurelie Martingale (assistant@rilem.org), Judith Hardy (j.hardy@rilem.org), and Prannoy Suraneni (suranenip@miami.edu). We will review and vet the material, and then add it to the list.
