  3. Giulia Sforzi: Chartered Engineer with over ten years’ experience of working on all phases of a dredging project from concept design to site supervision for major port developments worldwide. 

The course will provide 16 hours of live lectures and exercises over four days (via MS Teams) on 11, 12, 15 and 16 February.
