The thematic panels convene experts on the subject and those who can contribute to expanding the frontier of related knowledge. Its name refers to the understanding of disciplinary and interdisciplinary dialogues where local knowledge takes place with scientific and technical knowledge, from the exact sciences to the human and social science:

1-Environmental Dynamics, Climate Change and Natural Hazards:

(Climate change and variability, droughts, floods and inundations, heat waves, storms, landslides and mass movements, soil erosion, desertification, wildfires, changing ecosystems, water availability, environmental monitoring, adaptation and resilience …)

2-Global Change, Risk Governance and Resilient Territories:

(Risk governance, territorial planning, public policies, disaster risk reduction, adaptation and mitigation, local knowledge, science-society dialogue, risk perception, resilience and sustainable territorial development …)

3-Displacements, Environmental Refugees and Societal Vulnerability:

(Environmental refugees and migration, climate-induced mobility, displacement, poverty and inequalities, vulnerable populations, territorial inequalities, adaptation strategies, local communities, social resilience …)

4-Artificial Intelligence, Natural Risks and Intelligent Management:

(Artificial intelligence and machine learning for natural hazard assessment, prediction and forecasting, deep learning and geospatial modelling, remote sensing and Big Data for risk monitoring, hazard susceptibility and vulnerability mapping, early warning systems, climate-risk prediction, disaster prevention and decision support, AI-assisted territorial planning, uncertainty and explainability, ethical and responsible AI, AI for adaptation, resilience and sustainable territorial development …)
