A call for applications for 10 Doctoral Programs has been announced by the Scuola Superiore Meridionale (SSM) in Naples (Italy). Specifically, the program, titled Modeling and Engineering Risk and Complexity (MERC), emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to studying and managing complex systems, designing and engineering resilient systems, and analyzing and managing risks and cascading effects. Within this context, geotechnical methods can be utilized to address hazard assessments related to landslides, seismic site responses, and other issues.

Detailed hazard assessments can be further integrated into risk analyses for structures and lifelines to evaluate both their serviceability and ultimate state. This can also lead to the development of risk mitigation strategies through a decision support system.
