2 nd Meeting „ Historical and Recent Earthquakes In central and Eastern Europe“ – HAREISEE 10 to11 July, 2014 in Trieste Aspects to EU - ESFRI projects in particular to the EPOS project A brief summary by Peter Melichar

At the start of our second HAREISEE meeting I like to tell you: Together we have a chance ! Developing new ideas based on successful old European Union Projects Italy - Austria, like: INTERREG IIIA to 2006 and HAREIA to 2012

Based on the first project meeting October 24, 2013 in Klagenfurt, we should proceed in the implementation of the collaboration among seismological institutions with old and new partners as well as with the civil protection centers in Central and Eastern Europe.

EPOS is in the first row of the three priority Projects for implementation !

EPOS is aimed at a broad stakeholders community including European and Mediterranean countries. There are identified the following stakeholders categories: 1.) Geoscience data providers. 2.) Scientific user community – including Academia etc... 3.) National research organisations and funding agencies. 4.) Data and services providers and users outside the research community - including Industry, civil Protection, etc... Several thousands of researchers in Earth sciences will benefit from the services provided by EPOS, fostering major advances in the understanding of the processes occurring in the dynamic Earth.

Thank you for your attention!
