25th-27th April 2018

The Final Programme and the Book of Abstracts of the workshop are now available!

The NERIS workshop will last 2.5 days during which the first afternoon will be devoted to the organisation of the 9th General Assembly and two NERIS working group meetings. Then, the next two days will be dedicated to oral presentations dealing with the 7 topics of interest for this workshop (see below). On Thursday 26 evening, a tour of the Dublin Castle will be proposed, right before the workshop dinner planned in Dublin City Center. The last part of the NERIS workshop will focus on the CONCERT Joint Roadmap and its possible links with NERIS activities. The NERIS Young Scientist award ceremony will mark the end of the workshop.

NERIS Workshop 2015 - 27-29 April 2015, Milano (Italy)

Details: Parent Category: Activities; Category: Workshops; Published: Thursday, 21 May 2015 10:23

This Workshop, organised in cooperation with the University of Milano, was an opportunity to discuss and exchange with NERIS Members, International organisations and European Research communities on priorities for the NERIS Platform. The Workshop gathered 68 participants and 37 papers dedicated to the 3 research areas of the NERIS Strategic Research Agenda and the implementation of BSS on emergency and recovery issues were presented.
