3rd International Conference on Natural Hazards & Infrastructure
ICONHIC postponed to 5-7 July 2022 – For details click here
At their present state, plenty of our infrastructure systems are at high risk of not sustaining the extreme loading imposed by natural hazards, while the situation is exacerbated by the deficiency of maintenance or upgrading resources.
ICONHIC sets the stage for stakeholders coming from diverse backgrounds to exchange ideas, advance scientific and technical innovations targeted at natural disasters, and shape a unified approach to a more sustainable and resilient future.
Unfortunately the current restrictions related to the covid-19 pandemic do not allow the event to take place as a physical meeting this summer. Therefore, consistently with our commitment, we have decided to postpone the event until July 2022.
The abstract submission platform will re-open to allow contributions by potential participants who have not been able to submit abstracts due to covid-19 related concerns.
Following the request by several of our participants, the organizing committee has decided to host a small-scale online pre-event in June 22-23 2021 to pave the way for our main ICONHIC2022 event.
CREATING A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER MEETING POINT
In a time of augmented need for interdisciplinary effort, ICONHIC2021 aims to bring together actors from different fields (engineers, insurers, cat modellers, policymakers, NGOs) in order to facilitate dialogue and shape an informed course of action towards the ever-increasing extreme natural events.
LEVERAGING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO MITIGATE NATURAL DISASTERS
In light of the rapid technological advances in the fields of Big Data, Machine Learning,
and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), ICONHIC2021 aims to highlight how this technology combined with engineering knowledge can become the decisive link in the action chain towards disaster relief, preparedness and reduction of economic losses due to natural hazards.
SHAPING URBAN SUSTAINABILITY REQUIREMENTS
As countries across the globe become increasingly urbanized, ICONHIC2021 targets the appropriate synergies for an in-depth discussion on the pathways to be followed for encouraging investments and informing management decisions towards sustainable urban environments.
