SERENE, which stands for Scientific Evidence for Risk Engineering, Norms and Education, is designed to support Uganda’s resilience through science, regulation and risk-informed planning.

The project aims to provide information on the cost per square meter (USD) for reconstruction and various retrofitting options, and provide seismic impact scenarios for the Istanbul metropolitan area, with disaggregated information on building types, building age, and spatial areas.

This project builds upon the modelling and analytical work conducted under TA-9878 (https://www.globalquakemodel.org/proj/carec). It involves the preparation and implementation of a pilot disaster relief bond (DRB) that will be issued by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for two countries, namely, the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan.

The SIGMA program is a Research and Development project about seismic hazard and ground motion.

The Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation has launched the PAPERS project (Piattaforma Analisi Pericolosità E Rischio Sismico), an initiative aimed at developing a new WebGIS platform for scenario hazard and risk assessment in Italy. The project has been funded as one of the cascade grants launched by the High-Performance Computing, Big Data e Quantum Computing Research Centre, one of the five National Centres established by the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), under Spoke 5 - Environment and Natural Disasters.
