Open Day on Dams | Dams and Environment: Engineering Solutions For the Future
We report the "Open Day on Dams" organised by ITCOLD and ITCOLD_YP in collaboration with the Department of Structural, Geotechnical and Building Engineering-DISEG and the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering-DIATI of Politecnico.
The event is titled "Dams and environment: engineering solutions for the future" and will focus on the future of dams, exploring how we can develop them in a sustainable way, balancing productive and socio-economic aspects with safety and environmental considerations.
It will be held on Wednesday 28 May 2025 from 9:00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. in Energy Center - Via Paolo Borsellino 38/16, Torino - and will bring together industry experts, institutional representatives, and professionals with the aim of fostering dialogue between local authorities, universities, and companies.
