The results already obtained within the PRENLAB project have been demonstrated very thoroughly, as mentioned above, at the XXI EGS General Assembly in The Hague, May 6-10, 1996, and at the XXV ESC General Assembly in Reykjavík, September 9-14, 1996. These conferences gave a good opportunity to demonstrate the first steps taken and the obtained results within the project and to have them discussed among European geoscientists. There were special workshops of contractors and co-workers during both of these assemblies.
There were papers given on all the subprojects of PRENLAB at the ninth biennial EUG meeting in Strasbourg, March 23-27, 1997, especially in Union Symposium 16, Mitigating geological hazards (risks), where 10 oral presentations were directly linked to PRENLAB. A special PRENLAB workshop was also organized during the symposium. Several results of the PRENLAB project were presented at the 29th IASPEI (International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior) General Assembly in Thessaloniki, August 18-28, 1997. A PRENLAB contractor meeting was also organized there, however, only attended by the seismologists.
A two day PRENLAB workshop was held in Paris, October 24-25, 1997. It was an intensive workshop, where 25 papers were given, followed by discussion.
Before the end of the PRENLAB project abstracts were prepared for the XXIII EGS General Assembly in Nice, April 20-24, 1998. A PRENLAB workshop was organized there to overview the results of PRENLAB and to prepare the first steps of PRENLAB-2 which started as a continuation of PRENLAB, on April 1, 1998.
Some parts of the PRENLAB project or the project as a whole have also been reported at several other symposia and conferences. Besides conferences mentioned here can be mentioned AGU meetings, symposia of Nordic seismologists and a symposium on Long-term Evaluation for Earthquake Occurrence in Japan.
Available papers and reports, which are based on the research within the project have already been published or submitted as can be seen in the publications lists in Chapter 4.
A PRENLAB webpage was opened for presenting especially internal reports or abstracts among the participants. The location is http://bjarg/jar_inn/prenlab.
