2. WORKING GROUP 2 Modelling and benchmarking
WG2 PROPOSAL OF TRAINING SCHOOL | AGNIESZKA KNOPPIK
WORKING GROUP 2 Modelling and benchmarking
”WG2 shall focus on the numerical simulation of material/structural behaviour both at early age and during the service life and should strongly interact with the results obtained from WG1.”
2016 – training school organised by WG1 on laboratory testing of CBM, Lyngby, Denmark
2017 – training school organised by WG2 on numerical modelling of CBM and structures
What the focus of WG2 is and how we interact with WG1.
This year in Copenhagen 1st doctoral school was organised in the topic of WG1. Next year we want to continue this concept.

About the venue Poland – Silesian Region – Gliwice
POLAND - an inclusiveness country in the centre of Europe.
Poland is an inclusiveness country. No other COST event has been organised or is planned to be organised there, so it is a nice chance to promote it.
Poland is a Central-European country (in the heart of Europe). Silesian Region, where Gliwice is located, is a highly-developed strongly industrial region in the south of Poland.
Gliwice in one of the cities belonging to the Silesian Metropolitan Area with a capital in Katowice.
