AGENDA
ADVANCES IN SEISMIC HAZARD ANALYSIS
Seismic hazard analysis provides essential information for the design of buildings, the update of national building codes and the assessment of various risk metrics. The methodologies used for assessing the hazard are constantly evolving to account for the progress made in several related disciplines, including but not limited to earthquake geology, geophysics and particularly seismology, geodesy, engineering seismology and earthquake engineering. Recently published hazard analyses show, for example, an increasing preference to model fault sources as a system without any a-priori assumption on segmentation and a more widespread use of methods inherited from statistical seismology to test the consistency between the forecasted seismicity and the one included in seismicity catalogues. On the ground-motion modelling side, emerging methodologies include modelling epistemic uncertainties based on backbone approaches and more extensive use of fully and partially non-ergodic ground motion models. Using many of these new approaches, primarily when the analyses cover large areas, remains challenging. This session will include contributions describing novel approaches for developing components of hazard input models or presenting hazard analyses performed for various applications and scales, from site-specific studies to national and regional hazard analyses.

GEM Package @ WCEE2024
We are proud to be a key participant and supporter of the 18th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (WCEE2024) in Milan, Italy, taking place from June 30th to July 5th, 2024.
We are happy to offer the “GEM Package", which is valid for anyone who is not presenting at the conference, but who wishes to join us for just a few days:
Access on Mon 1st July: 200€
Access on Mon 1st - Tues 2nd July: 350€
Access on Mon 1st - Weds 3rd July: 450€

During the first three days of the conference, you can expect:
Technical sessions led by GEM on advances in seismic hazard modelling, management of earthquake risk, and innovations in national seismic risk modelling.
GEM's exhibition booth where you can explore our open seismic risk assessment resources and engage with our earthquake experts.
A GEM panel discussion followed by a networking and recruitment aperitif (sponsored by Aon) - Tuesday 2nd July (16:00 - 19:00).
Technical sessions and a stakeholder side event with aperitif organised by the Global Tsunami Model (GTM) community - Wednesday 3rd July (16:00 - 19:00).
How to avail of the GEM Package
If you are interested in taking advantage of the GEM Package, please send an email to info@globalquakemodel.org and we will provide you with the dedicated link and password required for registration.
if you wish to attend the full conference week, you can also create an account and register now (without a password) on the WCEE2024 website: https://www.wcee2024.it/ (this would allow you to also follow Helen Crowley's Joyner Lecture on Thursday 4th at 17:00 - 18:00!).

LOCATION
HOTEL
The city of Milan offer over 43,000 hotels rooms while in close proximity of MiCo there are more than 1600 sleeping rooms ranging from 5 stars hotels to budget friendly lodge. Major investments in the sector made in recent years allowed Milan to manage the influx of 21 million visitors attending EXPO Milan 2015. Another important international appointment will be held in the next few years in Milan, the Olympics Games 2026.The city accommodation is constantly renewing, and new hotels are opening.
For booking details, please visit: https://www.wcee2024.it/logistics/accommodation/
TRANSPORTATION
Milan is located in the centre of Europe and is one of the easiest cities to reach. Every day 800 direct flights connect Milan to over 200 destinations around the world.
Malpensa airport is the most important intercontinental hub in southern Europe and is well connected to the city center thanks to the high-speed Malpensa Express train.
Two other international airports serve the city: Linate, just 7 km from the Duomo, and Orio al Serio, where the low-cost companies land.
