EPICentre Seminars & Discussions
12 October 2021
The EPICentre Seminars and Discussions of 2020/21 demonstrated and discussed state of the art research and findings on relevant topics to natural disasters and engineering resilience.
Several inspiring and engaging online presentations were delivered by researchersÌýof different institutes as well as guest speakers from the relevant industries as part of the EPICentre Seminars and Discussions in 2020/21. The main audience of EPICentre seminars are theÌýMSc Earthquake Engineering with Disaster ManagementÌýstudents, alongsideÌýEPICentre and CEGE academic staff,ÌýPhD students, Research Assistants and Fellows.
The following is the list of presenters and their discussed topics. The recording of all seminars can be found on .
