Activities
ICG 2.0 serves as a platform for building and strengthening national and international collaborations in geohazards. Through strategic partnerships, research networks, scientific initiatives, and expert exchanges, ICG connects researchers, practitioners, authorities, and industry stakeholders to address emerging natural hazard challenges.
Our activities focus on:
- Building international research and innovation partnerships.
- Supporting collaborative initiatives that advance geohazard science and practice.
- Facilitating expert exchange and mobility between institutions and countries.
- Promoting interdisciplinary cooperation across academia, industry, and public authorities.
- Responding to major geohazard events through joint research and knowledge sharing.
Global Tsunami Model (GTM)
ICG 2.0 supports the Global Tsunami Model (GTM), an international collaborative initiative dedicated to improving tsunami risk understanding and resilience worldwide. Through partnerships between scientists, engineers, risk specialists, and international organizations, GTM develops tools, datasets, and methodologies that support tsunami hazard assessment, risk reduction, and informed decision-making.
Blatten Landslide Research Collaboration
Following the Blatten landslide in Switzerland, ICG-affiliated researchers contributed to international efforts to document, analyse, and learn from the event. The collaboration brought together experts in landslide processes, monitoring, remote sensing, modelling, and risk assessment to advance the understanding of large catastrophic slope failures and improve future hazard management.
International Research Networks
ICG 2.0 actively develops collaborations with universities, research institutes, government agencies, and industry partners in Europe and beyond. These networks support joint research projects, researcher exchanges, student mobility, scientific workshops, and the development of innovative approaches to geohazard risk management.
