Over the coming weeks, participants will deepen their knowledge of the behaviour, design and calculation of timber structures, combining theoretical and practical training, specialised software and laboratory activities.

The course will also provide participants with first-hand knowledge of the timber–concrete structural solutions developed within LIFE Timber for All, strengthening knowledge transfer and promoting more sustainable and efficient construction practices.

The programme will be delivered in person at the School of Engineering of Campus Terra, University of Santiago de Compostela, until 11 July, comprising 100 teaching hours and 10 ECTS credits.
