June 19-20, 2008, Utrecht University, The Netherlands

The tremendous success of seismology over the last 20 years is greatly due to the free availability of high quality waveform data originating from various global and regional networks. The aim of the ORFEUS data center and more recently of the NERIES project is to provide an infrastructure that will gather all available digital seismological data in the Euro-Mediterranean region and to distribute them in a user-friendly way.

The NERIES project provides the resources to implement a significant integration and modernization of the European infrastructure for seismological data. One of the key elements for the success of this project is a close interaction with the scientists using the data. The goal of this workshop and those to come is to expose the scientific research based on digital seismological data and the corresponding need and wishes of the data users.

The theme of the first workshop is 'waveform inversion', that covers a large part of the activities in the field of seismology. With the increasing amount of available high-quality digital data and the increasing computer power, waveform inversion on a large scale is within reach. We seek contributions and discussions on various subjects covering studies of the Earth's structure and of seismic resources.

We strongly recommend participants to submit an abstract, either for oral or poster presentation.
