The Mediterranean Geo-Community has been conceived and settled by: Giovanni B. Crosta, Giorgio Lollino, Luciano Picarelli and Gianfranco Urciuoli.
Objectives
The main objectives of the Community are:
- contributing in the spreading of technical and scientific culture in the field of earth science and geotechnical engineering in the Countries of the Mediterranean sea, accounting for the specific Mediterranean context with special reference to problems related to land stability;
- improving the relations between scholars and researchers working in the area.
Activities
The Mediterranean Geo-Community promotes and organizes conferences, seminars, lectures and doctoral schools.
The Community supports help in finding information about PhD programs, research grants, academic positions and job opportunities.
