Action TU1208
Civil Engineering Applications of Ground Penetrating Radar
COST Success Story
Activities of the four Working Groups
The scientific activities of the COST Action TU1208 were carried out within four Working Groups (WGs). Each WG was organized in sub-WGs, denominated "Projects".
The structure of each WG was kept flexible during the first three years of the Action's lifetime, in order to enable other participants to effectively join the Action and actively contribute to the research activities.
All new participants, when joining the Action, were invited to provide basic information on their experience, interests, current research projects, available equipment and software tools. They were also invited to provide their WG and Project preferences. Each participant could belong to up to 2 WGs; within each WG, each participant could join an arbitrary number of Projects. Each WG was coordinated by a WG Chair and by a WG Vice Chair. WG meetings were periodically organized, to present and discuss the ongoing activities and achieved results, and to plan the activities for the future.

Join us!
COST Action TU1208 ended in October 2017. Now you are welcome to join TU1208 GPR Association: this is an international non-profit association on Ground Penetrating Radar, founded in September 2017 as a follow up of COST Action TU1208 to keep the scientific network alive and cohesive, continue the excellent work that was done in the framework of the Action, and further support cooperation between Universities, research centres, private companies and public agencies active in the GPR field.
By joining TU1208 GPR Association, you will have the possibility to participate in our networking activities and scientific projects, interact with and meet several scientists and professionals working with GPR, share ideas and knowledge, establish new cooperations, and build the critical mass for research activities in the EU Framework Programme or in other competitive international programmes.
TU1208 GPR Association is active through a range of networking tools: meetings, workshops, conferences, training schools and dissemination activities. We also support research visits among Members. We are a bottom-up interdisciplinary science and technology network, open to researchers from universities, public and private research institutions, as well as to NGOs, industry and SMEs.
