Dear Colleagues,



The next *WCCM 2010* (World Congress in Computational Mechanics)

Conference will be held in Sydney (AUSTRALIA) on July 19 - 23, 2010.

Within this conference, Stephane Bordas and myself are organizing a

minisymposium dedicated to ...



"Novel discretization techniques for moving discontinuities and

singularities". You can download some explanatory text on the topics

and methods in the file uploaded to the "files" part of this group. We

Dear All,



A new multi-million pound initiative to fund research collaborations and improve links between UK and overseas researchers has been launched.



The Newton International Fellowships aim to attract the most promising, early stage, post-doctoral researchers working overseas, who do not hold UK citizenship, in the fields of humanities, engineering, natural

and social sciences.
