The third edition of the INFRARISK- Summer Workshop was held at LNEC, Lisbon, on the 28th of July 2017.
This year the workshop had the participation of Prof. Atilla Ansal and Prof. Desmond Hartford, members of Board of Advisors of the PhD program. Dr. James Daniell was the invited speaker of the event and gave the lecture entitled ‘An application of Natural Hazards Risk Modelling: Wine!’.
Detailed program of the workshop is available here.
