The 16th EGU-Plinius conference on Mediterranean risks will take place in Montpellier, France, on October 9-12, 2018.

The objective of this 2018 EGU topical conference is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussions on our current state of knowledge of Mediterranean risks, such as heavy rainfall events, strong winds, sea surges, floods and landslides. This will be achieved by bringing together scientific experts in the fields of meteorology, hydrology, geomorphology, sociology, engineering, but also governmental or private risk management actors.

The active participation of early career scientists will be encouraged via reduced participation fees and awards for best oral and poster presentations.

The abstract submission deadline is April 20, 2018. The abstract should be submitted online on the conference website
