Committees in charge:

In September 2006, a committee was established to follow up the work on the "IABSE Lecture Series". The members of the committee are: Joerg Schneider, Tobia Zordan, and Mourad M. Bakhoum. This committee was responsible for the developments and the selection of the contents currently available on the E-Learning website.

From May 2008, the IABSE E-Learning Board will be in charge of checking the actual content and of ensuring the quality of the IABSE E-Learning website. Members of the IABSE E-Learning Board are (arranged alphabetically): Mourad M. Bakhoum, Annette Bögle, Charis J. Gantes, James H. (Jim) Garrett, K.R. Jayasankar, Gilson Marchesini, John Miles, Ingo Müllers, Joerg Schneider, Ann Schumacher, José Turmo, Tobia Zordan.

Thanks:

The Committee is thankfull to the IABSE Foundation Council for its decisive financial support, it acknowledges the help from members of the Technical and Executive Committees of IABSE and the support by the IABSE Secretariat. The trust and support of the lecturers who provided presentations, especially recorded for the IABSE Lecture Series, while still in the very preliminary phase is acknowledged as well. The website and its content in the format currently shown would not exist without the immense support and dedication provided by IT experts in Cairo.
