ICONHIC2019
23 - 26 June 2019 / Chania, GR

The second international conference on natural hazards and infrastructure will build upon the encouragement received during  ICONHIC2016 aiming to make the extra mile towards Infrastructure Resilience. It is currently well understood that protection against extreme events is not served by the “stronger is better” principle. Apart from several scientific evidence disproving the adequacy of such a concept, building stronger structures has no impact in protecting existing infrastructure. On the contrary, the latter is asked to serve more needs stemming from the expansion of populations in urbanized regions, at a time when ageing reduces its capacity. Further to that, both the frequency and intensity of extreme natural events are augmenting. 

Although it is essential to act now, it is obvious that no single discipline can undertake the action. That is why ICONHIC2019 aims to bring all stakeholders on the same floor. We need to work together and understand each other. Engineers, financers, insurers, and policy makers must exchange experience in order to set a robust and viable trace towards our future actions.

To achieve this goal, the conference will include panel discussions among different stakeholders, excellent keynote lectures -  including our very own Corinna Wendeler - special and theme sessions in a very lively event encouraging discussion on challenging topics.

We are looking forward to meeting you at our booth at the ICONHIC2019 in Greece on 23-26 June 2019!
