The European Seismological Commission (ESC) is organizing the 39th General Assembly of the European Seismological Commission (GA) on the historic and picturesque island of Corfu. From September 22 to 27, 2024, over 700 esteemed and emerging researchers from more than 60 countries will gather to discuss the latest developments in seismology and related scientific fields.

The 39th General Assembly is expected to be one of the largest and most comprehensive meetings in ESC’s history, with around 1,000 presentations of scientific papers. Topics will include seismological networks, seismic hazard assessment, earthquake prediction, artificial intelligence, and the social impacts of seismic events. This diverse range of subjects highlights the importance and interdisciplinary nature of seismology in understanding and addressing natural hazards.

Corfu, known for its rich history dating back to antiquity and its stunning natural beauty, provides the perfect setting for this year’s event. The island is located at the northern tip of the northwest Hellenic Arc, making it an ideal place for seismologists to engage in meaningful discussions about the geological processes shaping our world.

“It is an honor to host this year’s General Assembly in Corfu, a place with a long tradition and connection to natural phenomena,” said Professor Nikolaos Voulgaris, ESC Vice President and Chair of the Local Organizing Committee. “Our goal is to create a focused event that will uphold the highest scientific and organizational standards, fostering productive discussions and future advancements in seismology.”

The conference will cover a wide range of topics, including seismic risk, earthquake physics, Earth’s internal structure, and induced seismicity. Beyond the scientific sessions, there will be an emphasis on education, awareness, and the social impacts of seismology, ensuring that the research presented will have practical applications and benefits. It aims to be a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration in seismology, offering researchers the opportunity to discuss recent advancements, share their findings, and explore new methods and technologies. This year’s event seeks to promote a deeper understanding of seismic activity and contribute to developing strategies for earthquake risk reduction.
