The International Conference on Post-Disaster Reconstruction aims to shed light on post-earthquake reconstruction, focusing specifically on the city of Antakya/Hatay. This conference convenes academics in the field alongside international organizations like UNESCO, ICOMOS, UNDP, and the World Bank.

Through various case studies from different parts of the world, this scientific event will address the issue of reconstruction in a multidisciplinary framework, combining a technical dimension (seismology, geophysics, civil engineering, geology, earth sciences) and a social sciences perspective (architecture, sociology, anthropology, art history, archaeology, history, geography, economics, political science). This conference is organized by Gülçin Erdi (CNRS, IFEA) and Mehmet Tayfur (ENSAS, IFEA).
