第二届国际岩石力学青年学者研讨会
（2nd International young scholars’ symposium on rock mechanics）
2011年10月14－16日，中国北京
WELCOME（欢迎词）
The International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) Commission on Education has the pleasure of announcing the 2nd International Young Scholars’ Symposium on Rock Mechanics—three years after the successful 1st International Young Scholars’ Symposium on Rock Mechanics which was held in Beijing, China. The 2nd Symposium will also be held in Beijing, this time on Oct. 14-16 immediately preceding the 2011 ISRM Beijing Congress.
The 2nd Young Scholars’ Symposium aims to provide an ideal platform for idea and information exchange, plus knowledge and experience sharing. To develop and improve any subject requires continuity—through young researchers advancing the knowledge based on past information, and incorporating new techniques and new experiences. The Symposium will thus provide extra stimulus and encouragement to the Young Scholars so that they will tackle our outstanding rock mechanics and rock engineering problems with renewed vigour.
Recently, an ISRM Young Members Presidential Group has been formed and it is hoped that all six of the Young Members (each representing one of the six ISRM regions: Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, North America, South America) will be able to attend, giving Young Scholars an opportunity to discuss with them the ways in which Young Scholars interests can be addressed within the ISRM.
So, to all Young Scholars in rock mechanics, including young rock mechanics scientists, engineers and students, you are warmly welcomed to attend the Symposium. All professors, research scientists and engineers who are involved in rock mechanics education and the training of young rock mechanics scholars are also of course welcome to the Symposium.
