The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of Politecnico di Milano (Polimi) has a long-standing tradition of organizing a variety of workshops keyed to the main research topics of the Department, CS3@DICA being the latest edition of these events.

The CS3@dica event is scheduled on March 8th 2022 and is focused on aspects and perspectives related to “Underground space: from resources to structures and infrastructures”. Polimi is institutional member of InterPore and the event is framed in the context of the InterPore Italian Chapter as well as the InterPore Academy.

The webinar spotlights recent activities, aimed at planning and designing structures and infrastructures systems in the underground. These are set in the context of a sustainability-driven approach driven to manage and protect underground resources, with a specific focus on groundwater and energy.

The webinar will host two guest speakers from the UPC BarcelonaTech: Prof. Antonio Gens and Prof. Xavier Sanchez-Vila. Their lectures focus on tunneling and groundwater resources at risk, respectively.

The Department has also promoted an award recognizing an outstanding poster contribution delivered by PhD candidates and young researchers with the aim of acknowledging their commitment to excel in a national and international scenario through favoring broad exposure of their research activity. All posters are available on the Department website (www.dica.polimi.it) together with the associated video presentation.
