The Italian Union of Thermal-Fluid Dynamics (UIT) has the fundamental aim to contribute to the progress of the Italian research and application of thermal-fluid dynamics, by promoting and enhancing the scientific, professional and social values among its members, as well as the formation of new generations of young scientists towards the research work in the field of thermal sciences, heat transfer and their applications.

In order to achieve these objectives UIT undertakes:

• the organization of a Heat Transfer Conference, on yearly basis;
• the organization of international Conferences, Seminars, Courses, etc.;
• the organization of a Summer School, on yearly basis, for PhD students and young researchers;
• the institution of a Prize, on yearly basis, for the best Italian Master thesis dealing with thermal-fluid dynamics;
• the institution of a Prize, on a two-year basis, for the best Italian PhD thesis dealing with thermal-fluid dynamics.
