URBASIS-EU : New challenges for Urban Engineering Seismology

Durée : 2018-2022
Contacts à ISTerre : Philippe Guéguen, Florence Cataye

Founded by European Union (H2020) - Maria Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) - Innovative training networks (ITN)

Recent devastating earthquakes and induced seismicity near infrastructures must become the centrepiece of analysis in reducing risk and increasing resilience, facing up to global urban population growth in the coming decades and the concentration of wealth in cities. The prediction of seismic ground motion and response of structures are key issues in reduction of seismic urban risk. There is therefore a demand for highly trained scientists with a broad understanding of engineering seismology and earthquake engineering, skills being essential in academic research, in private companies with activities related to risk mitigation and energy facilities and for policy makers. The URBASIS project aims to provide a multi- disciplinary training platform for Early-Strage Researchers (ESR) in order to develop their individual project and to promote their entrepreneurship and their employability toward the academic, private and insurance or decision-making sector. High-quality supervision of the ESR will be ensured through the international recognition of the URBASIS partners.
