Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce the first edition of the CISM Advanced Course on “Wind Engineering: Bridging Experimental, Field, and Numerical Techniques”, to be held on June 22–26, 2026, in Udine (Italy).
This interdisciplinary course offers an in-depth exploration of wind engineering, providing both fundamental knowledge and advanced insights into experimental methods, field measurements, and numerical techniques for the development of climate-resilient and sustainable civil infrastructure. Designed and delivered by leading experts in the field, the course combines theoretical principles with practical applications, enabling participants to address the key challenges faced by researchers and engineers when designing structures exposed to wind loads.
The program aims to equip attendees with essential tools, methodologies, and expertise for the analysis, design, and optimization of civil infrastructure, considering both synoptic and non-synoptic wind conditions.
The course is intended for doctoral students, researchers, and professionals in civil engineering, architecture, and environmental design, as well as anyone interested in advancing their understanding of wind engineering and its role in creating safer and more sustainable built environments.
The five-day course will be delivered by:
Alessandro Mariotti – University of Pisa, Italy
Girma Bitsuamlak – Western University, London (ON), Canada
Bert Blocken – Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK
Arindam Gan Chowdhury – Florida International University, USA
Andrea Cimarelli – University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy
Jasna Bogunovic Jakobsen – University of Stavanger, Norway
We kindly invite you to submit your application as soon as possible. Both in-person and online registration options are available.
Upon request, a limited number of on-site participants may be accommodated at the CISM Guest House at a rate of 35 Euro per person per night.
Six scholarships will be granted by the International Association for Wind Engineering (IAWE). For questions regarding the scholarship application, please contact: secr.general@iawe.org.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further information.
We look forward to welcoming you to Udine.
Best regards,
Alessandro Mariotti and Girma Bitsuamlak
