The main aim of SmartEN ITN project is to establish a transnational Initial Training Network (ITN), aiming at implementing a multidisciplinary research and training programme in the field of smart management for sustainable human environment. The training programme focuses its activities on research and training in the disciplines of Wireless Sensor Networks, Sensor Signal Processing, Non-Destructive Evaluation and Smart Proactive Management. In order to facilitate integration between these disciplines, four multi-disciplinary research programmes have been defined within SmartEn. These include Smart Proactive Management of: Structural systems; Heritage and infrastructure; Transportation infrastructure systems and Urban microclimate.
