Eighth edition

The upcoming EOS courses, specifically tailored for both Users and Developers of OpenSees, promise to offer in-depth training and insights into the OpenSees framework. These sessions are designed to cater to a range of expertise, from beginners to advanced users, focusing on both theoretical foundations and practical applications in earthquake engineering simulation.

The Summer School is full-immersion scheduled over 2 days starting from fundamentals to advanced applications.

Target Audience & Language

Master students, PhD candidates, post-doctoral fellows, researchers, and practitioners. The course will be offered in English.
