The doctoral schools on Urban Physics are a joint initiative of ETH and two other renowned institutes in the field, namely TU/e (The Netherlands) and UC (Cyprus), and are organized with the aim of disseminating the latest advances in Urban Physics.

The school aims at providing the participants in-depth knowledge on the latest advances in the field of climate science, building aerodynamics, meteorology, urban climate and water management, human physiology, as well as the impact of these developments on e.g. the mitigation of urban heat islands, the improvement of human comfort, safety and health. The idea is to bring the participants in contact with leading researchers in the field, to encourage a constructive and open dialogue and to incite collaborations between modellers and experimentalists at an international level.

Following the success of the course in Ascona (2011, 2015), Cyprus (2012, 2016) and Greece (2013, 2017) we look forward to organizing the seventh edition of the Urban Physics School in Ascona.
