The “Environmental Assisted Cracking” summer school is organized in its first edition by the Italian Association for Metallurgy (AIM) in collaboration with the University of
Bergamo, the University of Messina and the University of Manchester. The school will take place in Milazzo, a charming coastal town in north of Sicily, which offers stunning sea
views, historic sites, and a vibrant local culture.

This international summer school offers a comprehensive understanding to environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) and related degradation phenomena. Through lectures by leading Italian and international experts, participants will explore fundamental mechanisms, characterization methods, and the behavior of traditional and advanced materials under combined mechanical and environmental stresses. The residential program is designed for doctoral students and academic or industry researchers and it includes opportunities for discussion and networking.
