The objective of ERIES is to provide transnational access (TA) to research infrastructures to conduct research that will advance frontier knowledge related to seismic, wind and geotechnical hazards. It comprises three main research goals shown below which TA user projects shall strive to address. The research will be carried out with respect to the three aforementioned hazards and in one of the four research areas listed. For example, a TA user project may wish to study the effects of earthquakes (seismic hazard) on residential buildings (RA1: Built environment) and investigate a novel retrofitting technique that will contribute towards loss-based design and mitigation approaches (research goal).
