Georisque Conference in Tunis

On February 9 and 10, 2026, the 19th Georisque Conference was held in Tunis, in collaboration with the National Early Warning Committee. Over the course of two days, this event brought together researchers, doctoral students, and professionals to discuss issues related to environmental risks in the Mediterranean.

Discussions covered a wide range of topics, from risk assessment to operational management: climate change, territorial vulnerabilities, decision-support tools, and lessons learned.

This conference provided a unique opportunity for dialogue among various stakeholders in the field, fostering the sharing of knowledge and best practices. These discussions help generate ideas for reflection and action to better understand risks on a Mediterranean scale.

The event was also marked by the involvement of students from the GCRN master’s program, who actively participated in its organization. A poster competition highlighted the work of young researchers. The contributions presented demonstrated the richness of research conducted on environmental risks and their management.
