“Modern numerical methods for high-fidelity simulation of geohazards” (MONUGEO)

– new Horizon Europe MSCA Staff Exchange Project
IGT BOKU is the coordinator of the new EU-project MONUGEO, recently approved in the frame of the Horizon Europe Staff Exchanges action. MONUGEO consists of eight beneficiary partners and seven associated partners from three continents.

"Initiation and dynamics of glacial debris flows"

– a new OeAD WTZ project at IGT
The overarching objective of this new OEAD Scientific & Technological Cooperation research project is to better understand the initiation and dynamic mechanisms of glacial debris flow hazard chains. This project will forge new cooperative networks between Austrian and French academic institutions, i.e., IGT BOKU and ISTerre Université Savoie Mont Blanc (USMB).

“Climate cHangE Resistant DanUBe rIver eMbankments” (CHERUBIM)

The goals of this new project are to develop new insights, approaches and technologies that support the needs of end-users to make the Danube river embankments more resilient to the increasing threat of natural hazards due to the effect of climate change and to strengthen the transnational cooperation among Central European institutions to form a strong academic network to foster technological developments in this field.

New FWF Project at IGT:

“High-fidelity multiscale modelling of debris flows” (HIME)
The ultimate goal of the new FWF project "HIME" is to develop an accurate, robust, and efficient multiscale numerical framework to provide high-fidelity three-dimensional simulations for debris flows considering all salient features. Thus, it has high potential for research and engineering practices in geohazards.

“Localization in Geophysics, Geohazards and Geoengineering” (LOC3G)

– new Horizon Europe MSCA Staff Exchange Project
A new MSCA Staff Exchanges Project – “Localization in Geophysics, Geohazards and Geoengineering” (LOC3G - 101129729) was approved by European Commission. IGT BOKU is the coordinator of LOC3G, which consists of eight beneficiary partners.

873.018 Künstliche Intelligenz in der Geotechnik

Als Lösung für komplexe Aufgabenstellungen und als System für integrative planerische Prozesse gewinnt die KI immer mehr an Bedeutung. Die neue Vorlesung „Künstliche Intelligenz in der Geotechnik“ wird im WS23 am IGT angeboten.

Yadong Wang - Ringo Yu award for the 2nd Runner up

During the Class A Prediction Symposium on “Debris flow impact forces on single and dual barriers” at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, MSc. Yadong Wang and the team from the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering won the Ringo Yu award for the 2nd Runner up.

Acta Geotechnica

3rd rank in "Engineering Geological"
