Objectives of the course:

1) training teaching staff in the field of civil engineering about methods for dealing with land protection problems such as landslides and floods;


2) increasing the knowledge of learners about the approaches, data and possible solutions to protect the territory against geo-hydrological natural hazards;


3) bringing up the capability of tackling and solving both slope stability and flood problems using innovative methods and specific software.

STRATEGIC THEMATIC AREAS
Sustainable Energy, environment and natural resource management.
Abstract

The Summer School is an advanced training course. End-users of the Summer School will be teaching staff and researchers, who are responsible for higher education courses related to territory management and land protection. They will be provided with analysis tools, which are useful in territory planning, in decisions during emergency situations and in the planning of mitigation measures against geohydrological hazards.
The Summer School will include class sessions, workshops, roundtables, discussions, field visits.
