During the first week of lessons the coordinator of the Master's Course presented a general overview of the main aspects that will be discussed along the following six months. He mainly remarked the need of understanding the complexity of the wide range of parameters influencing tunnelling projects, focusing on a design based on safety, efficiency and sustainability.

Moreover two experts from
Geodata Spa (Worldwide Consultancy Company) gave lectures emphasising in the importance of considering Hydrogeology and Geological aspects thoroughly during the design, construction and operation of tunnels in order to minimise risks and avoid catastrophic consequences.

Finally Eng. Pietro Jarre from Global consultant company held a fantastic practical lecture on case history from his wide experience in Tunnelling field. He mainly exposed some examples correlating the design approach with the results obtained for each case. An important concept introduced by him was that ''the worst possible scenario is not knowing about what we do not know in a tunnelling project.''
