Landslides in Weathered Flysch: From Activation to Deposition (WCoE 2017–2020)

The Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering of the University of Ljubljana (UL FGG), Slovenia, Europe, was voted in 2017 at the 4th World Landslide Forum in Ljubljana, Slovenia to be one of the 20 new World Centres of Excellence (WCoE) in Landslide Disaster Reduction for the period 2017–2020. This successful nomination followed the periods 2008–2011, 2011–2014, and 2014–2017 in which UL FGG successfully fulfilled the role as one of the WCoEs. We can divide the activities of the WCoE at UL FGG into international and national research activities. The international ones consisted of the ICL related activities, the international cooperation, the European research activities, and the bilateral cooperation. The national ones consisted of the national projects and the national research program “Water Science and Technology, and Geotechnics”. In the paper, the before mentioned activities of the WCoE at UL FGG are elaborated into more detail, with a short list of top publications to show the dissemination and capacity building efforts.
