Objective
The proposed network intends to develop an advanced understanding of how mountain hydro-geomorphological processes behave and to apply this understanding to living with such hazards in the long-term. The observed increase in disastrous events over the last decade, associated with a low perception of risk by the communities involved, along with the lack of efficient, socially accepted and environmentally sound remedial measures are amongst the motivations behind this research. Considering such challenges, it is important to continue to develop methods for assessing quantitative risk, as well as progress innovative research, knowledge sharing and education, which in turn provides support for practitioners to produce a comprehensive risk management and prevention policy.
The Network will provide a high-level of training-through-research for European young researchers in:
(1) Mountain hydro-geomorphological hazard analysis;
(2) Consequences of hazard and quantitative risk assessment;
(3) Risk management;
(4) Risk governance. State-of-the-art experimental, methodological and computational advances, as well as risk management strategies will also be used to ensure Europe's proficiency in this area.
It is considered that the Network will overcome the fragmentation of the research on mountain processes by using the complementary expertise of 12 excellent European teams in the fields of natural, social, economic, legal, engineering and information sciences. The primary objective is to train individuals to become outstan ding scientists in the field of mountain risks, so that they may be able to find employment in European academic research centres, engineering and environmental private companies, regional geological services, governmental organisations and International a gencies. Scientific and technological excellence will also be promoted by the Network within a hazard and risk framework by organizing multi-disciplinary high-level schools, workshops, and conferences.
