We are pleased to announce that, during the 8th European-African Conference on Wind Engineering, Jeroen delivered a keynote lecture entitled Wind engineering for beach houses & offshore wind farms. Within the keynote, he presented the work carried out at von Karman Institute in the framework of HyPer SMM research project. We would like to thank the Organizing Committee for their invitation and interest in the topic of sand mitigation.
The HyPer SMM research project participated to the very first conference on nature based solutions for coastal protection in Belgium.
The “Dune in front of a dike: International Conference” took place at KU Leuven Bruges Campus on 12 and 13 April 2022.
During the event, the study entitled “Hybrid Performance assessment of Sand Mitigation Measures for Coastal and Desert applications” was presented.
The abstract can be downloaded by visiting the Building Coastal Resilience 2022 webpage.
On March 16th 2022, the second HyPer SMM seminar took place online. The seminar was addressed to researchers and students enrolled at VKI and to external researchers thanks to online broadcasting. It has been delivered in the framework of the VKI Seminar Series.
The aim of the HyPer SMM seminars is to disseminate windblown sand modelling and mitigation methodologies to MSc, PhDs and researchers.

The HyPer SMM project participated to Science is Wonderful! An event dedicated about bringing pupils and researchers together.
Meeting and disseminating my work to an high school class from Caserta (Italy) was wonderful!
I hope to have the pleasure to meet them again and disseminate my experience to other classes in Europe and around the world.
I thank the teacher Teresita Gravina from Caserta and EU commission for this amazing opportunity.

HyPer SMM participated the European Researcher Night (Wise Night) in Brussels on 25 September 2019, in the beautiful setting of the Planetarium, an historic landmark where research has been conducted for almost two centuries.
Lorenzo disseminated to a broad audience how fascinating the work of the researcher is, and how experimental tests in the wind tunnel, mathematics, physics and computer simulations contribute all together to develop effective mitigation solutions against windblown sand.
The HyPer SMM research project participated to the 8th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering with a study entitled “Life-Cycle Performance and Cost Analysis of Sand Mitigation Measures: Towards an hybrid experimental-computational approach”.

On January 28th 2021, the first HyPer SMM seminar planned took place online. The seminar was addressed to students enrolled to the VKI Research Master in Fluid Dynamics and delivered in the context of the Methodology of Applied Fluid Dynamics course.
The aim of the HyPer SMM seminars is to disseminate windblown sand modelling and mitigation techniques to MSc, PhDs and Researchers at VKI.

On December 16th 2020, the first MSCA-IF Info Meeting took place online. The aim of the meeting is to disseminate and to encourage MSCA-IF applications to PhDs, Postdocs and Research Engineers at VKI.
During the meeting I illustrated the general guidelines to apply to MSCA-IF actions, the evaluation process, and my past experience in writing the proposal by sharing some insights.
I would like to thank all participants for their availability and strong interest in the event.
I would like to share the talk that I gave at the Eurodyn 2020 online conference.
This study represent the bridge between my past research activities and the HyPer SMM research project.
I hope it will be of your interest!
