NEXT-GEN Spring School - Tackling Climate Change and Natural Hazard Risk for Next-Generation Communities, which will take place from April 28 to April 30, 2026, in Pavia, at the Sala del Camino, Palazzo del Broletto (Piazza della Vittoria 15). 

The NEXT-GEN Spring School is a multidisciplinary training initiative for PhD students and researchers interested in understanding the growing impact of extreme events on structures, infrastructure, and populations in the context of climate change.

• Analyse the interconnections between climate change and community resilience.
• Discuss mitigation and adaptation strategies, including both structural and socioeconomic approaches, through
concrete examples and best practices.
• Foster collaboration between science, policy, and civil society.
