Welcome to the ESC website!
Forthcoming events:
The 3rd European Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology (3ECEES)
will be held in Bucharest, Romania from 4 to 9 September 2022.
It will be a joint event of the 17th European Conference on Earthquake Engineering and the 38th General Assembly of the ESC.

The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) is now accepting session proposals for Seismology. Sessions are encouraged from across the broad fields of seismology including:
- seismic networks, data acquisition and processing
- seismic hazard and risk, including site effects
- physics of earthquakes
- study of the Earth's interior
- array seismology
- engineering seismology
- induced seismicity
- historical seismology
- recent significant earthquakes
- education, outreach and societal implications.
Inter-disciplinary sessions involving Seismology are encouraged. One session will be jointly organized with SSA.
Session proposals for Seismology should include the title, short description (up to 250 words), and name and affiliation of up to four Conveners. Session proposals can be submitted by email up to 31st of January 2022 to
3ecees2022(at)infp.ro
The Young Seismologist Training Course on the theme Historical Earthquake Data in Seismology Practice will be organized at a later date.

The 36th General Assembly of the European Seismological Commission was held in Valletta, Malta from 2 to 7 September 2018. The final number of participants was a record 802!
The Peter Bormann Young Seismologist Training Course was successfully organized in the preceding week.
The ESC Student Awards were presented for the second time in Malta.
In the category of oral presentations the following presentations were awarded:
Roseanne Clement: ”Using multiplets to find small signals in big data”
Lukas E. Preiswerk: ” What does ambient seismic noise tell us about glacial crevassing?”
The following posters were awarded:
Martin Bachure: ” Waveform cross-correlations – precision, limitations and consequences
Carina Haeger: ”3D density, thermal and compositional model of the Antarctic lithosphere”
In addition, Roseanne Clement won the IASPEI Early Career Award.
Representatives of the Seismological Commissions met during the General Assembly in Malta. From left: María José Jiménez, Stefano Parolai, Ina Cecić (all ESC), Paulina Amponsah (AfSC), Johannes Schweitzer (IASPEI), Marcelo Assumpção (LACSC).
