OVERVIEW
The 2026 GEM Conference, “From Faults to Future Scenarios,” brought together more than 200 researchers, engineers, public-sector practitioners, risk analysts and partners from 40+ countries at the University of Zagreb, Croatia, from 23 to 25 June 2026. Hosted by the Croatian Centre for Earthquake Engineering at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, the three-day meeting combined product releases, scientific exchange, live demonstrations and discussions on the practical use of earthquake risk information.
A central outcome of the conference was the public release of GEM’s v2026 global seismic hazard and risk suite. The releases include updated global hazard and risk maps, exposure and vulnerability models, country and territory seismic risk profiles, and new global analyses of liquefaction and road exposure, the embodied-carbon cost of earthquakes, and future seismic risk to 2045 and 2065.
The programme also highlighted the scientific datasets, modelling methods and open tools that underpin these results, from active faults and earthquake catalogues to GEM’s OpenQuake Engine. The resources on this page provide access to the released products, recordings, posters, demonstrations and other materials from the conference.
