Double Trouble:
When Physical Systems Go Digital
Hey! You!
Ready to add a digital layer to your summer? Join us in Leuven between the 7th and 16th of July for an immersive learning experience at KU Leuven where we will be exploring how physical systems and virtual models come together. This course will guide you through the fascinating world of digital twins; from understanding its core architecture and applying structural dynamics to model the physical world, to calibrating digital models using experimental data and evaluating how accurately they represent reality.
What you’ll learn
Our program blends interactive lectures, hands-on modeling sessions, and lab visits, where you’ll work with real data, validate simulations against experiments, and experience how digital twins are used in research and engineering practice. Along the way, you’ll also develop your ability to communicate experimental findings through clear and effective technical presentations. And the fun doesn’t stop there! Beyond the classroom, you’ll get to soak up the unique atmosphere of Belgium. Stroll through the historic streets of Leuven, enjoy the country’s iconic treats like waffles, chocolate, and beer, and uncover why this vibrant city is the perfect backdrop for innovation and creativity.
What you’ll experience
You’ll have the chance to hop on a bike and explore Leuven, a city full of ancient heritage that is taken over by the university and now owned and ruled by students! We will guide you around in our cosy and charming city, learn you how to draft a beer like a real Belgian and take you to a visit in one of our many breweries. Be prepared for our delicious chocolate, amazing waffles and the best fries and taste our many excellent beers at the ‘longest bar in Europe‘!
You can get a sneak peek in the ‘Leuven in motion’ video made by Basel Zorebieda
Even better, given Belgium’s limited dimensions, we’ll have the chance to explore some of the prettiest other cities in the country to give you the full Belgian experience.
What you’ll keep
Friends! If there’s one thing you can be sure of after 9 days of learning together, exploring together and having fun together, it’s that you’ll have a sweet set of friends all over Europe to visit afterwards!
So what are you waiting for, don’t be shy, just apply!
Who are we?
During your stay in Belgium, BEST Leuven will take care of you with lots of love. We are a group of enthusiastic people studying in Leuven, and we will make sure this course will be an unforgettable experience for all of you!
