21th UIT Summer School. Pushing the frontiers of thermal-fluid simulations
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is now a cornerstone technology in the design, analysis, and optimization of systems across a wide range of industries — from energy and aerospace to biomedical and environmental engineering. It also serves as a powerful research tool in an ever-growing number of scientific domains. While traditional CFD methods such as Finite Volume and Finite Element remain fundamental, the rapid evolution of computing capabilities and numerical modeling has brought forth a new wave of approaches — from machine learning-assisted solvers and Reduced-Order Models, to meshless techniques and even the first quantum-inspired methods. CFD-FORWARD 2026, a one-week intensive Summer School, aims to equip PhD students and young researchers with a broad and up-to-date perspective on both classical and emerging CFD methodologies. The program will feature a mix of lectures and hands-on sessions, covering not only established methods but also cutting-edge developments. Taught by leading academics and experts, the School also offers practical insights into open-source CFD platforms, model reduction strategies, and the integration of data-driven techniques in simulation workflows.
Professor Pietro Asinari, Department of Energy "Galileo Ferraris"-DENERG, is among the contributors.
Application and fees
The registration fee is € 850,00 and includes attendance to the Summer School, coffee breaks during the lessons, and full board treatment in a double room from the dinner of Sunday, August 30 to the breakfast of Saturday, September 5. For single room accommodation a € 150 supplement will be required. The 50% of registration fee (€ 425,00) must be paid before 17 July 2026, following the instructions given within the registration form. The remaining 50% (€ 425,00) plus the single room supplement (€ 150,00), if requested, must be paid directly during the check-in at Certosa di Pontignano.
Please, to apply download the registration form, and kindly send it by e-mail, before 17 July 2026, to: info@lacertosadipontignano.com and adriano.lezzi@unibs.it.
The 21st Summer School will be held in the prestigious Ancient Certosa di Pontignano, at a few kilometers from Siena, from 31 August to 4 September 2026.
Additional information about the Summer Schools can be found on the website.
