Hi Jerome, congrats to your new position also from my side and thank you very much for your initiative.
I had a look at your proposal which seems to be specifically related to hydro- mechanical modelling. Is there any particular reason? If I remember correctly, the first workshop was not related to a particular topic. I am just wondering because you might be approaching different people. Is the date locked in? I just came back from the Particles conference with the following information. The next DEM8 conference is at Uni Twente, July 22-26 2019. Another international conference people might be attending is SolMech 2018, 27-31 Aug in Warsaw. Thanks again for organising this.
