Welcome to the website of the SERA European Seismic Risk Model Workshop which will take place from 12th - 13th September 2019 in Istanbul, Turkey.

One of the joint research activities of the Horizon 2020-funded project SERA is entitled a 'Risk modelling framework for Europe'. As part of these research activities, a seismic risk model for Europe is being developed and will be presented for the first time at this workshop. The main aim of this workshop is to obtain feedback on this preliminary version of the model, such that it can be updated and finally released in April 2020.

We aim to bring together experts from academia and industry (insurance, reinsurance, disaster risk, cat modelling, engineering) across Europe in order to cover a wide range of stakeholders and use cases for the seismic risk model.

The SERA partners of this activity are collaborating closely with the Global Earthquake Model (GEM), a global collaborative effort that brings together state-of-the-art science, national, regional and international organisations and individuals for the establishment of uniform and open standards for calculating and communicating earthquake risk worldwide. The GEM Foundation released its global risk model in December 2018, and intends to update the European component of this global model with the 2020 European Seismic Risk Model (ESRM 2020).

If you are interested in attending the workshop, please register here. Further information on the workshop (e.g. agenda, logistics) will be posted on this website as it becomes available.
