2026 International Workshop Summary and Highlights
We had the pleasure of hosting the 2026 International Workshop in Engineering Research Infrastructures for European Synergies (ERIES-IW2026) in Pavia on 25-27th May 2026, hosted by Eucentre Foundation. Over 150 participants attended the event to discuss the exciting progress of their ERIES transnational access user projects to date and proposed activities for the upcoming months. This includes experimenting with seismic, wind and geotechnical hazards in order to advance our knowledge of these crucial areas.
