Reference:         2024-1-TCB-ELSA-ReactionWall

Location:            Ispra, (Italy)

Deadline date:   14 May 2024, 23:59 (CEST)

The ELSA Reaction Wall is a facility of unique dimensions and capabilities, capable of conducting experimental tests on full-scale specimens for the safety assessment of structures against earthquakes and other natural and man-made hazards. The ELSA Reaction Wall facility offers a program that covers together the following Training and Capacity Building topics:

  • Operation of ELSA Reaction Wall

  • Lifecycle of experimental research projects

  • Control systems for cyclic and pseudodynamic testing on large-scale structures

  • Hands-on tests examples (e.g. calibration, cyclic, pseudodynamic, substructured and distributed tests)

The duration of the training program is 5 days. The training will be held in 7-11 October 2024 or 4-8 November 2024. You can get more information here.

The JRC may provide a financial or in-kind contribution to support Users to cover their costs of travel and subsistence (T&S) related to the User Stay Days, subject to the availability of funds, personnel and other resources to Users from User Institutions located in a country eligible for the Widening Participation and Spreading Excellence actions under the Horizon Europe Programme. 

Contact the research infrastructure at JRC-OPEN-ELSA@ec.europa.eu to assess feasibility aspects in case you request a topic different from the list of Training and Capacity Building topics for the ELSA Reaction Wall.The proposal should be submitted to JRC-RI-TRAINING-CB@ec.europa.eu by 14th May 2024.
