Objective
Greece has the highest level of seismic hazard in Europe. Minimization of the loss of life, and social and economic impact due to earthquakes depends on reliable estimates of seismic hazard, to serve as basis for land use planning, improved building design and construction, emergency plans and strategies for sustainable development. In order to mitigate seismic risk, it is important to ensure that advanced knowledge acquired worldwide is efficiently transferred to countries such as Greece.
The proposed project aims at ensuring the transfer of advanced knowledge regarding all aspects of seismic-hazard evaluation, namely spatiotemporal seismicity patterns and earthquake interactions geotectonic properties of earth's crust earthquake source properties seismic-wave propagation and attenuation local site effects on strong-ground motion deterministic and stochastic assessment of strong-ground motion earthquake scenarios and shake maps.
Methodologically, the efficiency of transfer of knowledge will be achieved by in-depth theoretical training in modern methods joint development/adjustment of modern methods ·training in the application of modern methods joint application of modern methods joint presentation/publication of results. The project goals will be achieved by means of two-way mobility schemes. Thus researchers of the host institute will receive the necessary training at centres of high scientific excellence and return to their institution to enrich local knowledge and apply the acquired know-how.
On the other hand, visiting experienced researchers will contribute to the research capabilities of the host institute by transfer of advanced knowledge. The new methods and approaches will be applied in the host institute in the recruitment phase and the staff-member return phase. The obtained results will be jointly assessed and then presented/published. Through this complex process, the host institute's research potential will be enhanced.
