Overall, the course featured 20 theoretical lectures, spread over 3.5 days, supplemented by 1.5 days of experimental sessions.

Most lectures were video-recorded by the Italian Association on GPR.

The theoretical lectures covered topics on GPR technology and innovative systems, electromagnetic simulation, data processing techniques, ....

.. and case studies of GPR applications that spanned the disciplines of civil engineering (road and bridge assessment; utility detection), ...

... hydrogeology, archaeology, inspection of historical buildings, and forensics.

The slides of most lectures are available for free download on the webpage of the Training School (see the header text of this gallery).
