INAC Conference
The Inter-alpine Natural Hazards Conference (INAC) from May 5-7 2025 has the overarching goal of merging the knowledge of key actors, decision makers and operators in industry, infrastructure, engineering and research. In conjunction with the world leading international trade fair INTERALPIN the INAC adds an additional value for sustainable protection approaches in natural hazards and risk management.
Focal points of the conference are technical protection measures, nature-based solutions and innovative safety concepts for natural hazard processes, such as snow avalanches, debris flows, floods, rockfall or storms in a rapidly adapting alpine environment and changing climate conditions.
Target Groups
- Science and research
- Application industries, manufacturers and producers who deal with measures to detect and prevent natural hazards
- Relevant authorities, entities, institutions and organizations
- Municipalities and federal states
- Infrastructure companies in the road, rail and mountain railroad sectors
- Engineering and planning offices
Key Facts
65% of Austria is covered by the Alps, whose landscape consists of impressive mountains and deep valleys. This region is an important habitat and economic factor and is characterised by its unique culture and nature. However, these natural conditions also harbour risks such as floods, mudslides, avalanches, rockfalls and landslides, which can threaten settlements and infrastructure.
With increasing settlement pressure and the growing importance of leisure activities and tourism in the Alps, the number of areas at risk is also increasing. At the same time, the population's desire for a high quality of life and safety is growing. Damage caused by natural hazards is therefore increasingly less tolerated. The INAC addresses these issues and brings together the key players in the industry.
