12th International Conference on Risk Analysis and Hazard Mitigation 2020 (Risk Analysis 2020) June 23, 2020 - Lisbon, Portugal

The conference covers a series of important topics of current research interests and many practical applications. It is concerned with all aspects of Risk Analysis and hazard mitigation, associated with both natural and anthropogenic hazards.


Current events help to emphasise the importance of the analysis and management of risk to planners and researchers around the world. Natural hazards such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, fires and others have always affected human societies. The more recent emergence of the importance of man-made hazards is a consequence of the rapid technological advances made in the last few centuries. The interaction of natural and anthropogenic risks adds to the complexity of the problems.

The following list covers some of the topics to be presented at the Conference. Papers on other subjects related to the objectives of the meeting are also welcome.
