ABSTRACT E BIOGRAPHY
In this seminar, an overview of scientific-research activities carried out at the Faculty of Civil
Engineering of the University of Montenegro will be presented to participants (PhD students).
The scientific-research activities which will be presented are part of current or realized
international scientific-research projects in the area of seismic risk assessment and reduction
and smart buildings for a seismic resilient society, in which also PhD students are actively
participating.
The activities are related to the projects „BORIS - cross BOrder RISk assessment for increased
prevention and preparedness in Europe”, “BORIS2 - Cross BOrder RISk assessment for
increased prevention and preparedness in Europe: way forward” and “Development of
National Risk Assessment for all types of hazards affecting Montenegro” all funded by
Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG
ECHO), European Commission.
Further, the key activities conducted by researchers from the University of Montenegro within
the HORIZON 2020 project RISE “Real-time earthquake rIsk reduction for a reSilient Europe”
–will be presented.
For this seminar, it is planned that the participants - PhD students will also take an active part
in the seminar through discussion of raised topics and presentation of their activities.
