SICON is an European consortium cooperating in the field of Stability, Identification and COntrol in Nonlinear structural dynamics. It organizes a coherent series of courses and a concluding conference with specific training value, enabling junior researchers to benefit from the experience of leading researchers. The three year project (2007-2009), supported by the European Commission, is developed with the partnership of the following institutions:

• University of L’Aquila
  Department of Structural, Hydraulic and Geotechnical Engineering

• Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
  Department of Civil Engineering and Structural Mechanics

• University of Liege
  Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering

• Ecole Nationale des Travaux Publics de l’Etat, Vaulx-En-Velin 
  
  

• Wien University of Technology
  Institute for Mechanics and Mechatronics
  

• National Technical University of Athens
  Department of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences 
  

• University of Rome “La Sapienza”
  Department of Structural and Geotechnical Engineering
