[José António Correia]

Dear colleagues,

We hope you are going well.

It is a pleasure to announce to all of you the winners of the Robert Moskovic 2021 Award.

The ESIS Executive Committee (European Structural Integrity Society) decided to change the name of TC 12 in November 2016. The current name of the ESIS TC12 is Risk Analysis and Safety of Large Structures and Components.

In 2017, the TC12/ESIS technical committee decided to create three awards: Robert Moskovic Award; Award of Merit TC12; and ESIS/TC12 Young Scientist Award. The winners will be announced at the scientific and technical events organized by TC12/ESIS.

The Robert Moskovic Award was created to distinguish personalities with scientific and academic careers perfectly established with recognition by their peers worldwide. The designation of the prize was attributed as a tribute to the founder of the TC12/ESIS technical committee.

So far, the Robert Moskovic Award was attributed to the following researchers in recognition of their outstanding contributions:

2019

- Prof. Hojjat Adeli, University of Ohio, USA, for contributions in the Computational Intelligence and Smart Structures field.

- Prof. Vladimir Moskvichev, Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia, for contributions in the Risk Analysis and Safety of Technical Systems field.

In 2021, the Robert Moskovic Award is attributed to the following researchers in recognition of their outstanding contributions:

- Prof. Filippo Berto, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway, for contributions in the Local Approaches for Fracture and Fatigue Assessment field;
