 | ICHE2020: International Conference on Hazards and Engineering IBU Campus Skopje, Macedonia, June 8-11, 2020 |

| Call for Abstract | July 10, 2019 |
| Submission deadline | October 12, 2019 |
The conference is a unique forum where natural and man-made hazards will be considered from a scientific point of view and engineering solutions for reducing the risks related to these hazards will be examined. As “all in one conference”, special attention will be paid to climate change and pollution of the human environment, since the frequent occurrence of some of the individual hazards can be due to climate change and pollution. Civil violence in an urban community, as one of the more common hazards induced by the individual and collective behavior of the people, will be viewed at the ICHE2020, as well.
We have selected prominent keynote speakers, who will present up-to-date work and progress in the most advanced and questioning topics connected with natural and man-made hazards. They will be addressing different hazard phenomena and how to minimize risks from them using engineering tools.
