INFRARISK Final Dissemination Conference

The INFRARISK Final Dissemination Conference aims to communicate the results and outputs of  the EU-funded INFRARISK project. New research will be presented regarding the development of optimal stress testing techniques for European Critical Infrastructure, which focuses on potential impacts to the European TEN-T (road and rail) network due to natural hazards, such as earthquakes, floods, and landslides.

INFRARISK, an EU-funded project (2013-2016), brings together 11 members with a well-balanced and strong partnership amongst universities, research institutions, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and a Large Enterprise, to develop a strategy to ensure that levels of infrastructure-related risk due to natural hazards are acceptable. Stress tests are implemented through an operational framework that supports the work of managers, operators, stakeholders and policy makers, providing insight into the impact of extreme natural hazard events and enabling the vulnerability of their infrastructure networks to be assessed

The conference will address the following INFRARISK topics:

• Stress testing framework;
• Road and rail example case studies;
• INFRARISK Decision Support Tool (IDST);
• INFRARISK GIS Knowledge Base;

Time

The time of the conference is between 09:30 and 16:30.

Audience

Critical infrastructure stakeholders are the expected target audience, including policy makers, owners, operators, managers, regulators, practitioners, research scientists, engineers, and civil protection bodies.
