EAEE Regional Seminars
EAEE (www.eaee.org) is the European umbrella organisation for professionals and scientists working on earthquake engineering. The regional seminars of EAEE are organised to inform young researchers, practising engineers and scientists about the new developments in the field of earthquake engineering. This European Regional Seminar aims to give a broad perspective concerning the induced seismicity resulting from the exploitation of energy resources. Participants will be professionals from all around Europe; experts on the field, young professionals and other registered attendees.

DEEA – Dutch Earthquake Engineering Association
DEEA (www.deea.nl) has been established with the aim of connecting the engineering and research communities in the Netherlands and working on local earthquake issues with the rest of the earthquake engineering community around the world. The Association has been initiated by NoorderRuimte at Hanze University of Applied Sciences in Groningen and was further supported by Board Members from industry as well as from TU Delft and University of Groningen / KNMI.
Groningen is the largest on-land gas field in the world with continuous gas extraction operations since 1963. Earthquakes up to magnitude 3.6 in 3km depth, with the largest recorded horizontal acceleration of 0.11g, have been triggered since 2012 inflicting structural damage on houses and other buildings on the gas field and arousing public unrest.

Seminar Content
The main part of the seminar will be devoted to invited lectures with additional time allocated for short presentations by young researchers, under the age of 35, concerning their ongoing research or engineering projects related to induced seismicity. Discussion sessions will also be organised on some selected topics. The invited lecturers are European experts on the topic of induced seismicity.
The seminar will be 4 days with a field trip in Day #4. The trip will be to the gas field, to visit the project sites and to enhance interaction among young participants. The themes of the Regional Seminar are i) Geological & Geophysical Aspects, ii) Hazard & Risk, iii) Geotechnical Issues, iv) Seismic Monitoring, v) Structural Assessment & Strengthening, and vi) Structural Experiments and Modelling.
