TREAD

A new Horizon Europe MSCA-DN project has been funded by the European Commision.

Project Title: TREAD, data and pRocesses in sEismic hAzarD

Project Coordinator: Bruno Pace (Università Chieti-Pescara, Italy)

The aim of TREAD is to train a new generation of researchers to tackle the challenges of earthquake forecasting in complex tectonic settings using integrated observations and physics.

The TREAD objectives are:

(i) to develop a novel integrative approach to seismic hazard analysis in Europe and the Mediterranean from small-scale laboratory experiments to large-scale observations. 

(ii) to establish physics-based earthquake modelling bridging time scales from millions of years to fractions of a second in complex tectonic settings.

(iii) to improve the link between earthquake geology, computational modelling and hazard and risk assessment with a focus on the needs of governments, industry and scientific stakeholders.

To reach these objectives the TREAD consortium comprises 14 academic and 8 non-academic institutions, of which 8 private partners, of high scientific level, from 7 European countries, covering cutting-edge knowledge and expertise in observational, experimental and modelling fields:

  • Università degli Studi di Chieti-Pescara (Ud’A), Italy
