The University of Perugia’s 8th Training Event – via Web

The NDTonAIR 8th Training Event has taken place on 3-5 June 2020.

Due to the CoViD-19 emergency, and the related measures adopted in many countries for the protection of the public health, this last NDTonAIR Training Event has been held via-web.

The originally-scheduled Training Event organization (see http://www.ndtonair.eu/events/) has been tailored and changed to make the web-based event being effective and productive. Hence, the ESRs presentations contained a resume of their research activities, with a close look at the collaborations they have established within the NDTonAIR consortium to perform the comparison, integration, and fusion of NDT techniques.

The detailed agenda of the 8th Training Event can be download here. Moreover, each event’s session has been recorded – it can be accessed and viewed here below. Finally, each ESR’s individual presentation can be download from the related link.
