financial support
The workshop is funded by the DAAD in the framework of the program “Hochschul dialog mit Südeuropa 2017”. The participation is free of charge for the selected students. Moreover, students from Germany and Portugal will receive a travel expenses allowance of 175 € (for German) or 300 € (for Portuguese) and a daily allowance of 65 € per day.
INVOLVED UNIVERSITIES
This year ten universities will participate to the event. At the hosting University, in the DESTeC department of the University of Pisa, the research group focuses on analytycal and numerical approaches and experimental tests related to earthquake engineering applied to masonry and r.c. structures. At the LBM of the TUM the teaching program provides preliminary courses such as general dynamics and structural dynamics, which give the to-be engineer the ability for abstraction and recognition of the limits of mechanical concepts. Advanced courses on computational modelling are also offered.
At the LBB of the RWTH there has been a significant research activity in the field of seismic design, especially for modern and historical masonry, for industrial facilities and bridges. Moreover, devices for the reduction of vibrations, such as intelligent damping devices, have been developed and represent a promising future intervention in seismic area. The LBB collaborates with the FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences, which is also involved in the program of this workshop with a practice-oriented contribution. The ISISE of the University of Minho in Portugal is a young and dynamic department highly involved in the areas of computational modelling of the structural behavior, experimental testing, repair and strengthening of historical structures, architectural conservation.

The Italian new entries of 2017 are:
- University of Florence, contributing on issues related to reinforced concrete buildings;
- University of Catania, presenting computational mechanics for masonry structures;
- University of Cagliari, showing the innovative concepts of building rehabilitation from a seismic and energy point of view;
- University of Naples Federico II, with a contribution on the out-of-plane analysis of masonry walls;
- University of Rome La Sapienza, showing concepts of Performance-based Design, Computer Aided Structural Design and Nonlinear Analysis.
Aims and relevance with respect to the DAAD announcement
The main outcome of the workshop is to strengthen the background and the knowledge on seismic design of young master students of civil engineering and architecture and to present traditional and innovative approaches in agreement with the architectural requirements and needs.
Through a three-day workshop, researchers and professors offer their knowledge to master students and build a platform for discussions and shared experiences. The intended audience are primarily master students of civil engineering and architecture. PhD students can participate as audience in limited number, but are rather encouraged to act as lecturer. The mix of participants from different fields and countries is the key for a successful production of future interdisciplinary research ideas.
Students will look at seismic design matters from different point of view, from the theoretical and technical side to the functional, social and aesthetic side. The traditional approaches in earthquake engineering will be presented, but attention will be paid on the innovative techniques that are emerging in the research field. Traditional and innovative materials will be considered, such as masonry, reinforced concrete, steel, timber, structural glass and innovative hybrid materials. Moreover, this seminar brings together engineers and architects from different applications fields, encouraging a creative and secure way of designing structures, throwing lights on tendencies and challenges of modern architecture.
In this seminar, the common task of the lectures is the integration of scientific developments in the lectures, in order to promote new ideas and future collaborations. It is a valuable opportunity for students to work in close contact with researchers and get involved in advanced projects.
In addition, the dialogue between Italian, German and Portuguese universities is strongly encouraged for synergic future collaborations. This year, new member universities decide to support the event, expanding the network and the interaction.
With this experience, students from different countries can meet each other to compare and improve their background in structural design and promote relationships among the involved universities. In particular, German students learn about the consolidated "seismic" research developments in Italy and Portugal (countries with a stronger seismic history); in turn, Italian and Portuguese students can improve on computational and advanced technological aspects, in which fields Germans are particularly strong.
Exchange periods for the preparation of master theses and internship will be promoted. This was already fostered during the workshop in 2016 and few months after the 1st TIASD event, several participants have planned their exchange period for the master thesis at the partner universities and at the Bavarian company. New Ph.D. programs will be encouraged after the contact between the partner universities.
This seminar stresses the importance of the relationships between European countries in terms of scientific and social development. Indeed, earthquake engineering is not only a scientific field, but also a tool for reducing losses of human lives and damages to the architectural heritage in case of extreme events such as strong ground motions.
Consequently, the seminar will promote cultural growth and will make stronger the contact between the involved European countries. The ultimate aim is to give to students and future researchers the feeling of being part of a European university system as a whole, rather than a multitude of fragmented and unconnected systems.

General description of the workshop program
This workshop is made up of three blocks: i) basics and fundamentals of earthquake engineering, ii)technical applications of seismic design and iii) aspects of heritage conservation. Extracts of theory are carefully mixed with practical examples, to make the issues understandable and to encourage discussions. An excursion at the city center of Pisa with local experts will complete the program. The scheduled lectures in one of the oldest universities of Italy and spontaneous social events through the city of Pisa will undoubtedly encourage a fruitful exchange of ideas.
