Short Course | Structural Health Monitoring | China (Special Edition)

2 ECTS | Hybrid (12h) | Special edition at Tongji University, Shanghai, China

This special edition of the Short Course on Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), hosted by Tongji University in Shanghai, provides an intensive journey from the fundamental principles of SHM in the context of a statistical pattern recognition paradigm to its implementation on real civil infrastructure. 

Delivered in a hybrid format, the course takes place in China - home to some of the world’s largest and most advanced bridge monitoring systems - and will place particular emphasis on large-scale SHM applications and the transition from research to engineering practice. This course is expected to take place in October 2026; more details will be available soon. Stay tuned!
