Damocles will develop and apply advanced modelling technologies to assess hazards posed by rapid slope failures in mountain areas and will disseminate these technologies to local end-users for applications in land use planning. 

In order to accompish these goals, the prject integrates reaserch-based model development with the direct involvement of local planning and civil protection authorities as data suppliers, advisors, and recipient of the project results.

The project proposal is also available here as a PDF file.
