SASPARM 2.0 PROJECT

Support Action for Strengthening PAlestine capabilities for seismic Risk Mitigation

The project continues the cooperation with Europe’s neighbours in the context of the European Research Area, started by SASPARM, an FP7-Project. The European Centre for Training and Research in Earthquake Engineering (EUCENTRE), acting as coordinator, the Institute for Advanced Study of Pavia (IUSS) and An-Najah National University (ANNU) in the Palestinian-administered Areas (PS) will work together to meet the goals of SASPARM 2.0. The main project  goal is to create a web portal where different users (students/citizens/practitioners/GO and NGO stakeholders) will be able to input and manage all the data on buildings, with increasing level of detail, and  obtain all the information about the related seismic risk. In this regard, training courses will be organized for students, professionals and ordinary citizens with the aim to increase their awareness and knowledge regarding the seismic risk.
