The iRALL School is organized by the State Key Laboratory of Geohazard Prevention and Geoenvironment Protection (SKLGP) of Chengdu University of Technology. Since 2016, SKLGP has successfully held iRALL School for 4 times, with 131 international doctoral students from more than 20 countries coming to Sichuan for training and academic visiting.
Given the impact of the covid-19, iRALL School 2020 provides free online courses for PhD and master students in landslide hazards, risk and other related fields. The whole process will be broadcast live from October 19 to October 22. The recorded videos will be shared on the official website of iRALL after the course.
