The Autumn School is designed especially for doctoral
students and postdoctoral researchers and intends to provide
state-of-the-art knowledge in Urban Physics, focused on its
multi-scale, multi-disciplinary and multi-phase character,
including computational modeling and experiments. We look
forward to welcoming you at this Autum School to meet
experts and colleagues working in this exciting field!

Description:

 

Climate change, health, comfort and energy are major 

world-wide concerns and research topics. In urban areas, 

these topics are strongly inter-related. The physical 

processes involved are commonly referred to as Urban 

Physics. Urban Physics covers a wide range of spatial 

scales, from the global scale down to the material scale and 

the human scale. Urban Physics is therefore inherently 

multi-scale and multi-disciplinary. This Urban Physics 

Autumn School explicitly focuses on the multi-scale and 

multi-disciplinary aspects. Topics range from climate change 

over urban acoustics and urban wind energy to human 

thermophysiology and material science. 

 

This Urban Physics Autumn School is organized by Eindhoven 

University of Technology in collaboration with the Swiss 

Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ) and the 

University of Cyprus. It follows the two previous Urban 

Physics Schools organized by ETHZ (2011) and by the 

University of Cyprus (2012).
