“Climate cHangE Resistant DanUBe rIver eMbankments” (CHERUBIM)

In South-East Europe, the Danube is one of the main natural links. The repeated extreme flood events of the river in recent years have shown that the stability of many old embankments is at risk. The project “Climate cHangE Resistant DanUBe rIver eMbankments” (CHERUBIM) brings together a multidisciplinary team crossing boundaries within technology, from constitutive and physical modelling through numerical analysis and slope stability to artificial intelligence, to boost the resilience of current infrastructure under changing climates. The goals of this project are to develop new insights, approaches and technologies that support the needs of end-users to make the Danube river embankments more resilient to the increasing threat of natural hazards due to the effect of climate change and to strengthen the transnational cooperation among Central European institutions to form a strong academic network to foster technological developments in this field.
