The McGill Civil Engineering Graduate Student Society (MCEGSS) is pleased to inform you of the upcoming twelfth Annual CEGSS Conference at McGill University that will be held on March 31st 2005. For the second time, the Society would like to extend an invitation to all the graduate students from other universities in Montreal: Concordia University, École Polytechnique de Montréal, and École de Technologie Supérieure. The conference will cover all areas in Civil Engineering: Geotechnical, Structural, Hydraulics, Hydrology, Environmental, and Transportation.

The objective of the conference is to allow graduate students to present their research work to professors and graduate students in a friendly environment and get valuable feedback for their future work. It is also the goal of the conference to acquaint graduate students with the research advancement being taking place in other universities in Montreal, as well as expand their network within their field of research.

As this event has such significant positive ramifications, the organizing committee encourages all graduate students to participate, either as a presenter or as an attendee. Please note that no fee is requested; however, you are required to register, even if you are not presenting. Also, lunch will be provided, as well as wine-and-cheese and a dinner at the closing of the event.

Please submit your abstract and register by email: mcegss@yahoo.ca. Make sure to indicate your full name, specialty, institution, and email address.

Regards

David Carré
CEGSS President
