Duration in months: 24 Staring date: January 01, 2015 Consortium Consortium Eucentre – EC Contribution € 225,174 EUCENTRE promote and support research and education in the field of seismology, geology, geotechnical engineering, hazard and risk assessment, flooding vulnerability assessment, ecological approach and emergency management, Re-insurance market IUSS – EC Contribution € 172,317 ANU was originally established as An-Najah Nabulsi School in 1918 in the Palestinian city of Nablus. In 1977 it became a full-fledged university and it is now the largest university in Palestine. The Earth Sciences and Seismic Engineering Center (ESSEC) at NNU was established in October 1996 in the city of Nablus. It is the only specialized center in earthquake engineering in the West Bank or Gaza Strip ANU – EC Contribution € 102,493 IUSS offers advanced international undergraduate and graduate programs through: Undergraduate Internal courses open, on a merit base, to the most promising students of University of Pavia. Level II University Master degrees, fully taught in English providing a strong International approach. PhD Degrees providing an interdisciplinary point of view and exposure to cutting edge research. The need for prevention in the field of seismic risk is strongly required and this encouraged the new proposal It represents a strategic avenue and a comprehensive advance of the post-SASPARM environment and involves the same Consortium Its core is the development of a web portal where different users (students/citizens/practitioners/GO and NGO stakeholders) will be able to input and manage data regarding buildings, with increasing level of detail, obtaining information on the related seismic risk Protocols to acquire data through guided procedures will be also available on the web
