1 12 th international summer school light alloys castings: from innovative design to advanced applications vicenza, july 25 th -29 th 2011

2 introduction This International Summer School is, in 2011, a joint effort among NTNU (Norway), WPI (USA) and DTG (Italy). The school has previously been offered in Trondheim, Norway and Worcester, USA. Topics concerning light alloys solidification and processing have been traditionally covered by the Summer School. In 2011 it will be focused on the path to be followed from innovative design to advanced applications in order to make light alloys castings suitable to sustain the challenges of product reliability, industrial competitiveness and technological sustainability. As demonstrated by recent Integrated Research Projects, such challenges require, from light alloys casting industry, innovative and integrated approaches based on: fundamentals of metallurgy; modeling and simulation of process; knowledge of conventional and innovative treatments and processing solutions; availability of advanced criteria and tools for design of casting and components. The International School will offer an overview of this new scenario, aiming at a understanding of topics which are important both for industrial engineers (knowledge of innovative solutions and approaches) and for researchers (knowledge of the industrial requirements to be targeted by innovation) who are working on light alloys castings. The program and the lecturers have been selected with the basic idea that integration will be the key concept for making research and industrial development in the field of light alloys casting more competitive.

8 accomodation and travelling information The School will be hosted within the Department of Management and Engineering (DTG, in Vicenza, a town in the North-East of Italy (30 min by train from Venice, less than 2 hours by train from Milan). vicenza Vicenza is well-known as the City of the Gold and Andrea Palladio (see An ancient publication defined Vicenza The Gorgeous City. Still today, after centuries, Vicenza remains a true and genuine jewel, indissolubly bond to the aesthetic and creative genius of the great Andrea Palladio, the Architect par excellence who, in the XVI century, has left his most precious inheritance to his city of adoption, Vicenza. His works of art are so extraordinary to make Vicenza deserve the title of Universal Patrimony of the Humanity, as attributed by the Unesco.
