| 2021/02/01 - 2021/02/15 | Workshop : Programmes of letter exchanges between scientists and students in Portuguese-speaking countries
"There are 9 countries in the world where Portuguese is an official language; 5 of which belong to the UN list of Least Developed
Countries. Cartas com Ciência creates conversations between scientists and students in those countries to mitigate barriers
and prejudices associated with higher education and scientific careers. Cartas com Ciência is a spin-off from Native Scientist,
inspired by the American programme Letters to a Pre-Scientist."

| 2020/07/20 - 2020/07/24 | The 2020 CIG Tectonics Modeling Tutorial will provide an opportunity for both new and experienced modelers to receive hands-on
training on the fundamentals of long-term tectonic modeling. The training modules will cover a range of topics, including
basic examples of mantle convection and lithospheric deformation, viscoelastic-plastic deformation, two-phase flow, and complex
model design. Additional topics may include overviews of version control, best coding practices, and HPC computing. Tutorials
will be taught using the CIG-supported code ASPECT.

| 2020/02/17 - 2020/02/18 | This meeting focused on the interplay between deformation, metamorphism, and rheology of the lithosphere. The meeting united
international experts in geodesy, seismology, metamorphism and rheology to characterise and understand the geological controls
on fault behaviour, guiding future studies and advancing our understanding of earthquake hazard. Organizers: Dr Owen Weller
and Dr Alex Copley, University of Cambridge, UK; Professor Peter Cawood, Monash University, Australia; Dr Clare Warren, The
Open University, UK

areas where significant progress has been achieved recently. The programme involved a series of lectures, seminars, discussions,
practical and computer exercises. Organizers Jean Paul Ampuero (Université Côte d'Azur and Institut de Recherche pour le Développement,
Seismological Laboratory, California Institute of Technology), and Abdelkrim Aoudia ( International Centre for Theoretical
Physics).

| 2017/10/01 - 2017/10/06 | CARGESE SUMMER SCHOOL: EARTHQUAKES: Earthquakes remain unpredictable, despite decades of intense investigations into possible
precursory phenomena. The main difficulty lies in our incomplete knowledge of the state of stress on active faults at seismogenic
depths, and a full understanding of how rupture initiates and stops in a complex medium characterized by a variable stress
field acting on complex fault geometries. Poster presentation
