RILEM youth community to be formed

The General Council of RILEM, the International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures, has formally approved the formation of a RILEM Youth Council (RYC) and youth community forum.

The youth community is intended to be an online facility for networking and knowledge exchange, accessible from the RILEM website. The RYC will be made up of 11 young researchers from the various RILEM worldwide regions and will operate under the Development Advisory Committee. The purpose of the RYC is to attract and motivate young RILEM members and emerging researchers, to encourage participation in RILEM activities, increase awareness of RILEM events, and to showcase the achievements of the RILEM youth. The RYC will manage the RILEM youth community forum and organise activities such as regular seminars and networking events throughout the year.

CoMSIRU strongly encourages all postgraduate students and researchers to join the RILEM youth community, where they will have access to world leading research, technical committees and RILEM sponsored PhD courses.
