Mediterranean PhD School – Napoli Federico II – seconda edizione – 11-16 ottobre 2021 – iscrizioni in scadenza
Nella settimana dall’11 al 16 ottobre 2021 si terrà la seconda edizione della Mediterranean PhD School, organizzata dal Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile, Edile e Ambientale dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II. Quest’anno la manifestazione, che verterà sul tema “European Green Deal. Contributions from Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering”, sarà tenuta on-line e sarà completamente gratuita.
Per quanto riguarda l’ingegneria Geotecnica, le lezioni saranno tenute dai proff. Antonio Gens (UPC Barcelona) e Lyesse Laloui (EPFL Lausanne). I lavori si concluderanno con una tavola rotonda coordinata dal prof. Gianpiero Russo (Università di Napoli Federico II).
I dottorandi, oltre che seguire le lezioni, parteciperanno ad attività applicative. Registrandosi entro il 17 settembre, potranno presentare contributi scientifici attinenti al tema della Scuola che è dedicata allo European Green Deal ed alla transizione verso l’ingegneria a zero impatto climatico (ad esempio Geotermia e relative applicazioni) e sviluppare un progetto esercitativo. Sono in palio premi da 600 euro ciascuno per le migliori 8 presentazioni e da 3000 euro per il gruppo che avrà sviluppato il miglior progetto.
