As a part of the UME Programme’s activities, an international seminar is organised every year to provide Master and PhD students with an opportunity to present and discuss their research work to an audience of international experts. Since 2015, the seminar is named in honour of Prof. Nigel Priestley, co-founder of the ROSE School in 2001.
\n<\/span>In addition to standard presentations on research work carried out within the programmes of the school, the annual seminar features also the tradition of inviting one or more prominent scientists to deliver keynotes lectures on a given contemporary and highly relevant topics in the field of earthquake engineering and engineering seismology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The seminar may also include the UME Doctoral Defence, featuring a committee of independent international experts in charge of the examination.
\n<\/span>Further information about each year’s seminar can be found on the events main announcements page.
\n<\/span>In 2008, it was decided that a prize would be awarded every two years at the International Seminar. The <\/span>Nigel Priestley International Prize<\/a><\/strong> honours individuals for their creativity, innovation, research, and professional achievements and excellence in education in the fields of earthquake engineering and engineering seismology.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
