INGV presents the new center to monitor global risks

From a technological point of view, the integration of monitoring networks allows you to process data from sensitive multi-parametric platforms, evaluating not only individual geophysical events but also their possible chain interactions and the evolution of the phenomena over time. This analysis architecture allows you to provide summary and operational reports directly to the Emergency Response Coordination Center of the European Commission. The transfer of technological skills simulates the surveillance infrastructure that INGV historically employs for the Civil Protection Department in Italy, extending early warning models to a continental scale. The formalization of the center also aims to encourage the development of new computational algorithms and access to international funding channels for the training of specialized personnel.

The stabilization of these scientific partnership networks highlights the strategic role of research institutions in the governance of European public safety. Fabio Florindo, President of INGV, underlined the importance of the institutional transition by declaring that “the establishment of the ARISTOTLE-ENHSP Multi-Hazard Center represents an important step towards consolidating scientific and operational experience of European importance within INGV. After almost ten years of continuous activity, we provide ARISTOTLE with a stable structure capable of further strengthening INGV’s contribution to the management of natural risks and European civil protectionThe harmonization of cross-border seismic and volcanic data therefore represents a fundamental pillar for increasing the resilience of infrastructures and communities in the face of global geodynamic dynamics.
