Description: The European School for Advanced Studies in Reduction of Seismic Risk (ROSE) was founded in the autumn of 2000, with the aim of providing higher-level education in the field of earthquake engineering. 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 lecturers at the ROSE School are internationally recognised experts in their field, coming from a number of distinguished institutions from around the world. Each course is intensively taught in a period of four to six weeks, during which the respective lecturer is able to fully dedicate his/her time and efforts exclusively to the scholastic activities at the school, thus ensuring teaching and research training at the highest possible levels of quality.

The School also relies on advanced numerical and experimental facilities, including the large structural laboratory of the University of Pavia. Academic activities take place in a number of dedicated classrooms and computer labs, located within the same building complex where all students are hosted.

All of the above endows a truly unique character to the ROSE School, be it for its fully international nature or for its innovative organisation in education and research training in the field of Earthquake Engineering.

- Unique in the cutting-edge, international exposure it offers to participants.
- Small classes, up to 30 highly motivated and skilled students coming from all over the world.
