Cluster with FRST project |
|
In 2004 the University of Canterbury was invited to join with a major EU funded programme in a project entitled “Reduction of Seismic Risk for Existing Buildings: Vulnerability Assessment and Retrofit Solutions”. This collaboration involves a formal link between an existing 17 million Euro EU funded project on “Reduction of Seismic Risk and Landslides (LESSLOSS)” and a NZ$3.6 million FRST funded project on “Retrofit Solutions for NZ‘s Earthquake Risk Multistorey Buildings”. The linkage will give NZ researchers access to knowledge and information generated by more than 46 research teams involved in the EU project. Direct collaboration will occur between the University of Canterbury and the University of Pavia, with groups led by Stefano Pampanin and Professor Calvi respectively.
