2025 International Workshop in Engineering Research Infrastructures for European Synergies (ERIES-IW2025)

Description
The 2025 International Workshop in Engineering Research Infrastructures for European Synergies (ERIES-IW2025) aims to bring together the transnational access (TA) user groups involved in the ERIES project, providing a unique platform to exchange experiences, share results, and explore future directions in seismic, wind, and geotechnical engineering research. With ERIES’s focus on reducing hazard-related losses, managing risk, and fostering sustainable solutions, participants will have the opportunity to present their individual research projects facilitated by Europe’s leading experimental facilities, as well as discuss applications of innovative engineering technologies. This event aims to strengthen collaboration and knowledge-sharing within the ERIES community, fostering impactful research, guiding future policy, and influencing building standards that will drive resilience and sustainability in European engineering for years to come.
