Stakeholder workshop on 5 November 2015 at Hótel Örk, Hveragerði, SW-Iceland
The aim of the workshop is to demonstrate how the FUTUREVOLC project (futurevolc.hi.is) and related activities have contributed to advances in volcano monitoring and research, as well as dissemination of information on volcanic hazards and eruptions.
The workshop is aimed at various stakeholders of the project, focusing on nonscientific audience. The workshop includes a series of talks and time for discussions, followed by brainstorming in groups on selected topics relevant to the FUTUREVOLC project and its follow-up actions. The presentation will be streamed online, and available online after the workshop (see Programme below with links to the talks on Youtube).
Overview of the project and results from its different workpackages (as of November 2015) is found in a booklet prepared for the meeting of stakeholders of the FUTUREVOLC project. The booklet can be viewed here (pdf)
