Objective

The University Institute for Advanced Studies (I.U.S.S) was founded in 1997 by the University of Pavia and the Ministry of University and Research to organize highly qualified experimental programmes in education. Among several initiatives, a series of advanced graduate schools were started, to form high level specialists prepared to take on managerial roles in specific professional sectors, in line with a policy of European integration and market globalization (European Schools for Advanced Studies). The ROSE School is one of them, covers the field of earthquake engineering and is unique for its international faculty and for the organization of education and research training. The syllabus offers a comprehensive set of subjects covering applied mechanics, structural engineering, earthquake engineering, engineering seismology and soil dynamics, with emphasis on both theoretical background and design considerations. All courses offered (at least nine per year) are intensively taught in a period of four to six weeks, with approximately 75 hours of lectures and tutorials each. All teachers are recognized experts in their field and stay for approximately six weeks, being fully dedicated to teaching and research training. The School counts on high level numerical and experimental facilities, including the large structural laboratory of the University of Pavia, and on dedicated classrooms and residential structures where all students are hosted at subsidized costs. Cooperation agreement has been established with the Universities of California, Berkeley, of Illinois, Urbana, the Imperial College, and London, the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Applicants should be high-level PhD students with academic background on civil, mechanical, geotechnical engineering or equivalent. Students will work in the field of earthquake engineering under the supervision of highly qualified personnel, combining advanced numerical and experimental methods in both research and educational training.
