Almost the entire group Risk participated to the European Geosciences Union General Assembly in Vienna, Austria, on 28 April to 2 May 2014. This huge meeting brought together over 12’000 scientists from over 100 countries. This is the world biggest meeting for natural hazards sciences. It is always an excellent opportunity for our group to meet new people and other scientists we work with for a long time.
The Group Risk presented 28 posters and 4 orals in the Natural Hazards division (titles listed below).
