On April 10 in Naples, at the Department of Architecture of the University of Naples Federico II, in the Rabitti Room at Via Forno Vecchio 36, the international conference and workshop “Proof of Concept Approaches: Methods, Models and Strategies for Urban Risk Mitigation” will take place, focusing on innovative methods and strategies for mitigating risks in urban contexts.

The event brings together scholars and experts in the field to discuss advanced approaches to urban environments exposed to multi-risk scenarios. Following the institutional greetings by Maria Rosaria Santangelo and Andrea Prota, and the introduction by Maria Fabrizia Clemente, speakers will include Carmine Galasso, who will deliver a keynote lecture on dynamic natural hazard risk modeling for urban disaster mitigation using a human-centred approach; Maria Polese, who will address virtual test-beds and knowledge models in complex scenarios; and Valeria D’Ambrosio, who will present Proof of Concept applications for risk mitigation in urban settlements.

The day will conclude with final remarks by Mario Losasso and Domenico Calcaterra.

The initiative, organized with the support of the University of Naples Federico II’s 2025 funding for scientific dissemination, represents an important opportunity for international exchange on urban resilience and integrated risk management.
