PROJECT OVERVIEW<\/h2>\n
VOLRISKMAC II, a project funded by the Territorial Cooperation Programme INTERREG V A Spain-Portugal MAC 2014-2020, is born as a continuation of the VOLRISKMAC project.<\/p>\n
The overall objective of VOLRISKMAC II is to strengthen R&D&i capacities for resilience development in future volcanic emergencies in Macaronesia.<\/p>\n
This project aims to strengthen the volcanic early warning system in Macaronesia by improving instrumental networks and developing and implementing innovative methodologies, strengthen the resilience of volcanic monitoring systems in Macaronesia and generate a collaborative network between participating partners and nationally and\/or internationally recognized R&D institutions to strengthen scientific response to Volcanic emergencies in Macaronesia.<\/p>\n
