Fluid Machinery and Energy Systems Engineering
The Winter School is dedicated to PhD students who perform their research activities in the field of fluid machinery and energy systems engineering, including turbomachinery, internal combustion engines, energy conversion systems, power plants, renewable energy systems and innovative energy systems.

Advanced Techniques for the Analysis of Novel Materials Strategic for Sustainability Transitions. III. Biodegradable polymers
The Winter School offers a one-week full-time multidisciplinary program. It is devoted to training students with a technical-scientific background on the advances of analysing materials of interest in environmental and green chemistry. Note that, even if the focus of this year is biodegradable polymers, the knowledge acquired during the school may be applied to several other materials.
Structural Design for Non-Structural Engineers
Structural Engineering is a branch of civil engineering that deals with the study of structural systems. Structural engineers analyze, plan and design the structural elements that are used in the construction of buildings. Learn more in the Structural Design for Non-Structural Engineers programme at IDC Technologies.
Solar Energy Conversion and Application - Micro-credential
This Solar Energy Conversion and Application will give you an extended foundation of the main concepts of solar energy conversion and applications to enable you to practically apply your new knowledge in the field as well as in research and development. Delivered live rather than prerecorded, the course offers real-time interaction and greater value.
