ABOUT THE SCHOOL
The International Ph.D. School "Italo Gorini 2026" is the doctoral School promoted by the Italian "Electrical and Electronic Measurement" (GMEE) and "Mechanical and Thermal Measurement" (GMMT) associations.
The School activity will deal with a wide variety of issues related to the measurement. The School is aimed both at PhD students, as well as young people from research and industry fields.
The School will address both methodological issues, in the field of science and technology related to the measurements and instrumentation, and advanced problems of practical interest. Special attention will be paid to the impact of measurements on scientific and engineering context, strongly influenced by the evolution of technology in various sectors.
From one side the benefits that these technologies can offer to the development of innovative measurement systems is addressed, from the other the new open issues and the innovations introduced by the science of measurement are investigated.
The School will have a weekly duration and will be developed through lectures, seminars, conferences, as well as debates.
ORGANIZATION
The doctoral School "Italo Gorini" is organized in three-year cycles.
The IX Cycle for the years 2025-2027 includes the following venues: Aversa (2025), Palermo (2026) and L'Aquila (2027).
The International PhD School "Italo Gorini 2026" aims to enrich the training in the field of Instrumentation and Measurement and to strengthen human relations and scientific cooperation among doctoral students and young researchers.
The school addresses both methodological issues, in the field of science and technology related to the measures and instrumentation, and advanced problems of practical interest.
The School cycle will follow the consolidated rotation cycle of the 6 research lines.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The school is aimed at Ph.D. students and young researchers in any of the Engineering or scientific disciplines.
OBJECTIVES
The main emphasis of the Ph.D. School is enriching the training in the field of instrumentation and measurement of doctoral students and young researchers through presentations given by lecturers well quoted among the Italian and international scientific community; promote and consolidate human relations and scientific cooperation among the participants.
TRAINING CREDITS
The activities can be recognized and quantified in terms of credits.
All participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
PALERMO, ITALY
Palermo is the vibrant capital of Sicily, Italy, a historic Mediterranean port city known for its rich blend of Phoenician, Roman, Arab, Norman, and Spanish influences, evident in its stunning Arab-Norman architecture (a UNESCO site) and bustling markets. This large city offers a unique mix of grand palaces, baroque churches, lively street food culture (think arancine and pane e ca' meusa), historic sites like the Teatro Massimo, and nearby beaches, making it a cultural, political, and gastronomic hub with a fascinating, layered past.
