On the first day of the conference, Monday, September 7th, we arrange various short courses and workshops, to extend the technical programme of the conference. These courses require seperate registration, which can be done convinently through the conference registration system.

In situ testing using the DMT, the SDMT and the Medusa DMT
This course is focused on in-situ testing equipment, in particular the Flat Dilatometer (DMT), the Seismic Dilatometer (SDMT) and the Medusa DMT. A technical presentation will introduce in detail working principle, test procedure and interpretation of the field readings to obtain geotechnical parameters for design. Comparisons with results of other soil testing equipment will be shown. The presentation will illustrate all of the main geotechnical applications for which this test is commonly used worldwide with practical examples and also the latest research topics and findings. Experience offshore will also be addressed, particularly for performing Vs measurements in nearshore conditions and for very deep offshore Dilatometer testing (Medusa DMT). Invited speakers will share their direct experience in case history projects. A final discussion involving both participants and speakers will address all possible topics of interest.
Participants will have the opportunity to simulate DMT and SDMT tests in the classroom.
This short course is for both attendants that are not familiar with the DMT/SDMT/Medusa as well as experienced users, considering the recent developments of the last years. Certificate of attendance will be provided to each participant.

Conference workshops
Pre-conference workshops
Pre-conference workshops will be organized prior to ISC'6 at external venues by joint committees. These workshops do not require prior registration and can be attended freely. All pre-conference workshops are organized at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (location). Further details of these workshops will be announced as soon as additional information becomes available.
