RISKADAPT at the 41st IAHR World Congress in Singapore
2025-06-22 00:00 - 2025-06-27 00:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Singapore EXPO 1 Expo Drive, Singapore 486150, Singapore
We are excited to share that our project partner, UL FGG, will be presenting research from the RISKADAPT project at the 41st International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) World Congress, taking place from 22–27 June 2025 at the Singapore EXPO.
With the theme “Innovative Water Engineering for Sustainable Development,” IAHR 2025 aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, exchange cutting-edge knowledge, and explore innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing water-related challenges.
The accepted contribution, led by UL FGG, focuses on:

Climate change projections in assessing hydrodynamic loads and scour risks on bridge piers
Analyzing critical infrastructure resilience as part of Pilot 1 of the RISKADAPT project

We look forward to sharing our insights and engaging with global experts in hydro-environment engineering to advance climate resilience!
If you are attending, we would love to connect!

RISKADAPT Special Session at European Climate Change Adaptation Conference 2025 (ECCA2025)
2025-06-18 09:00 - 22:30 (Europe/Berlin) | Via della Fiera 23, 47923 Rimini (RN) – Italy, Italy
Strategies and Tools for Improving Infrastructure Resilience in Multi-Hazard contexts
The session explores strategies to increase the resilience of local assets and services towards climate extremes – such as floods, droughts, and heatwaves – through innovative multi-hazard impact assessment tools and decision-support systems.
Led by three Horizon Europe projects (ICARIA, RISKADAPT, MIRACA) funded under the EU Mission “Adaptation to climate change, the session fosters collaboration between researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to bridge the gap between scientific advancements and practical resilience-building. Speakers representing local authorities and infrastructure operators will focus on the potential connection of research findings and real-world application, to foster adaptation strategies that are both scientifically robust and socially inclusive.
An interactive session will engage the audience to identify shared challenges and the relevance of proposed methodologies and tools to shape a joint technical/policy brief supporting the Adaptation Mission.
