About the Conference
The International Congress on Natural Hazards and Territorial Resilience brings together researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers to address emerging challenges related to climate-induced risks and environmental extremes. The congress promotes innovative approaches in Geo-Sciences, Water Resources, and Data Science to enhance risk assessment, modeling, and early warning systems. It provides a multidisciplinary platform for exchanging knowledge, sharing scientific advances, and discussing practical solutions for disaster risk reduction and sustainable territorial development. Particular attention will be given to the integration of geospatial technologies, artificial intelligence, and climate data in improving hazard monitoring, forecasting, and resilience planning. The congress also seeks to strengthen collaboration between academia, public institutions, and international organizations in order to support evidence-based policies and innovative strategies for managing natural hazards. Ultimately, it aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration to build smarter, more resilient, and climate-adapted territories worldwide.
