Recent events have increased the need for a reliable network of monitoring systems to predict and protect against natural events and structural collapses that have resulted in casualties and economic damages.
The effectiveness and efficiency of appropriate monitoring systems is the result of a long and complex process which must be based on a solid cultural background, common rules, strong technological support, considerable skill and dedication by those who have to install and manage them.
International experts and authorities will meet in the Aula Magna of La Sapienza University of Rome to discuss the role and prospects of Geotechnical and Structural Monitoring for the natural and built environment.
