This year August 31 – September 2, in Oslo, Norway, we are preparing the first GEOS symposium as exit strategy of one (i.e., GEOMME) of the three NGI-lead international collaboration projects funded by the Norwegian Research Council: GEOMME, NATRISK and IP4EWS. We wish to invite you to join and contribute to this symposium which will cover interdisciplinary topics connected to natural hazards research and practice, and will be an arena for networking and building future collaborations.
The GEOS 2026 website is now live: https://www.ngi.no/en/events/geos-symposium/. You can find all relevant information about the program and participation there.
The program is structured around six thematic sessions, each following the same format:
- Four presentations (15 minutes each)
- Followed by a 30-minute panel discussion
Our aim is to encourage discussion within each session. To support this, we will seek a balanced and representative selection of presentations, covering a range of topics and geographic contexts (e.g., Japan, Korea, Norway, Canada, Brazil, India, and other European partners). We therefore encourage you to consider how contributions might best be distributed across the sessions before submitting preferences. Participants will be asked to indicate which session they are most interested in contributing to.
