The ROSE School second semester will begin on 2 September 2026 with Seismic Assessment of Masonry Structures, taught by Prof. Francesco Graziotti and worth 3 ECTS credits, running until 11 September 2026.

The course examines the seismic performance of existing masonry buildings, from construction materials and building typologies to failure mechanisms and structural response under earthquake loading. Lectures are combined with case studies and practical exercises, covering both simplified and advanced assessment approaches as well as strengthening and retrofit strategies aimed at improving seismic safety.

Prof. Gerard O'Reilly, Coordinator and Chair of ERIES-IW2026 and lecturer at IUSS Pavia, describes ERIES as a project of projects, bringing together the earthquake, wind and geotechnical engineering communities and more than five hundred researchers around the shared goal of transnational access to experimental infrastructure.

As coordinator, he identifies communicating the opportunities offered by this funding mechanism, rather than the scientific work itself, as the project's greatest challenge, and points to the FAIR data principles applied across the project and the more than two hundred resulting conference and journal contributions as central to its legacy.

Prof. O'Reilly places ERIES within a longer history of European transnational access initiatives dating back to the early 1990s, and expresses hope that this history will continue.

ERIES (Engineering Research Infrastructures for European Synergies) was a project funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme, running from 2022 to 2026. It provided transnational access to experimental facilities for earthquake, wind and geotechnical engineering across 13 research infrastructures in Europe and Canada. A total of 69 user group projects were carried out, involving 518 researchers from 173 institutions across 55 countries, including 45 industry partners, and the resulting experimental data are openly available.

Prof. Gian Michele Calvi, ERIES Principal Investigator, Vice-Chair of the ERIES-IW2026 workshop, President Emeritus of the Eucentre Foundation and lecturer at IUSS Pavia, reflects on what ERIES-IW2026 means for the European research community, situating the project within a nearly thirty-five-year trajectory of European support for shared access to large-scale experimental facilities, tracing its origins to the early 1990s.

Prof. Calvi highlights ERIES as a particularly successful example in terms of participation, noting that it was the first programme of its kind to include facilities beyond Europe, and points to the novelty of bringing earthquake engineering and wind engineering together within a single programme.

A notable passage of the interview also connects the project to the evolution of the Eurocodes: thirty-six years after the first European programme established to support research underpinning Eurocode 8, the new generation of Eurocodes is now a reality, a milestone he describes as the beginning of a new era for European structural codes.

ERIES: Engineering Research Infrastructures for European Synergies was a project funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme, running from 2022 to 2026. It provided transnational access to experimental facilities for earthquake, wind and geotechnical engineering across 13 research infrastructures in Europe and Canada.

📚 What will you learn at the ROSE Advanced Master's?

The ROSE Advanced Master's is an advanced postgraduate programme designed for engineers and graduates interested in advancing their academic or professional path.

The programme strengthens theoretical foundations and develops advanced analytical and practical skills in earthquake engineering.

Students will develop expertise in the following key areas:

🔹 Seismic hazard and ground motion
🔹 Structural analysis and seismic design
🔹 Seismic assessment, protection and strengthening
🔹 Seismic risk and loss estimation.

A distinctive feature of the programme is its intensive modular teaching format: courses are delivered in sequence, without overlapping, allowing students to focus fully on one topic at a time and interact directly with internationally recognised professors and experts.

The learning experience is completed by an internship of approximately one month, offering valuable experience in a research or professional environment.
