IMPORTANT NOTE:

Please note that July is very high season and that many International events are planned during that month. So please reserve your hotel as soon as possible.

The conference venue will be the Polytechnic School located in P.le V. Tecchio, 80 in the Fuorigrotta district.

For convenient access to the conference we recommend accommodation in Fuorigrotta.

If you wish to stay in Naples city center we advise you to reserve hotels close to stations of metro line L2 and Cumana train, in particular in the neighborhood of Piazza Amedeo (in the elegant CHIAIA district) or piazza Dante (in the historical center).

The social dinner will take place at the “Club nautico della vela”

in Borgo Marinari, in front of the sea and very close to Castel dell’Ovo. The venue of social dinner is on average 10 minutes walking distance from the Hotels of CHIAIA district and 5 minutes walking distance from the Hotels located in front of the sea.

Lines serving the conference venue are L2 (Blue) and Cumana (Green)

A short history of the Engineering School of University of Naples Federico II

The University of Naples Federico II is one of the oldest academic institutions in the world having been founded by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II von Schwaben in 1224.

The School of Engineering of the University Federico II is one of the oldest and largest in Italy. The first school of Engineering was set in Naples in 1811 during the Napoleonic occupation of the Kingdom of Naples. Joachim Murat, King of Naples and Napoleon brother-in-law, decreed the foundation of the “Scuola di Applicazione di Ponti e Strade” (School for the construction of bridges and roads) on 4th March 1811. The school was modelled on the Ecole d’Application des Ponts et Chausses, which had been reorganized by Napoleon in 1804.

After Unification, in 1863, the school took the name of Royal School of Engineering and was made directly dependent from the Ministry of Education of the new unified Kingdom of Italy. The declared aim of the school was to “provide students with a degree in Mathematics all the necessary know-how and skills to practice the Art of Engineering and Architecture”. A complete reorganization of the degree courses came in 1876 when the Regolamento Generale (General Rules) of all the Royal Schools of Engineering in Italy was changed. Since then onwards, two general 5 year degree courses where offered in the School: one for engineers, the other for architects.

In 1904 the Royal School of Engineering changed name into Higher Polytechnic School (Scuola Superiore Politecnica) and was finally transformed into the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Naples in 1935.

The school was first hosted in the historical buildings of the University and then moved to a new location in 1965, when the new building of the Faculty of Engineering designed by the Italian architect Luigi Cosenza was opened in Fuorigrotta, a relatively newer area of Naples. Since then the Faculty has developed fast and nowadays offers more than 20 degree courses, several MSc. Programmes and Doctoral Schools.

In 2011 the Faculty has celebrated the 200th anniversary of its Foundation. Since 2013 the Faculty of Engineering has been included as one of the Divisions of the Polytechnic School of the University of Naples Federico II.
