The severe impacts of recent natural hazards, including hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and landslides, combined with the vulnerability of human settlements and infrastructures, have highlighted the significant work still needed to address these challenges.
This conference aims to raise awareness about this critical topic and propose strategies to promote new approaches at the intersection of structure/infrastructure systems and the economic and social impacts of natural hazard to increase community resilience.
The growing need to address complex challenges in urban resilience, engineering, and monitoring, within a multi-risk context and an increasingly interconnected world, demands the development of innovative ideas and advanced methods to deliver accurate numerical solutions within feasible computing times, as well as the creation of novel methods and tools to support risk-informed decisions. ICONREM will provide a dynamic platform for sharing scientific knowledge and expertise with colleagues from around the globe, fostering collaboration across these critical fields.
The conference sessions welcome scientific contributions about single and multi-risk analysis, monitoring and resilience. Novel approaches to modelling, mapping or analysing data on all sub-components of the risks are invited. A focus on dealing with multi-temporal and multi-spatial scales is also encouraged. Expected contributions will describe (but will not be limited to):
The 4th edition of the Conference will take place in Florence. The technical sessions will be hosted at the headquarters of the Department of Architecture (DIDA), while the opening and closing ceremonies will be held in an exceptional location: Palazzo Vecchio, the heart of the Renaissance.
ICONREM will also be a wonderful opportunity to explore Florence and the surrounding region of Tuscany, one of Italy's most captivating tourist destinations.
We look forward to meeting you in Italy!
