42nd ESReDA Seminar on
Risk and Reliability for Wind Energy and other Renewable Sources
15th and 16th May 2012
University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK
Scope of the Seminar:
The coming decade should see a huge expansion of renewable energy systems, in particular  of offshore wind systems. Many risk and reliability related problems for such systems are open and many may still be unarticulated. The ESReDA seminar brings together system operators, manufacturers, insurers, maintainers, government, regulators and university researchers from a variety of relevant disciplines, in order to gain a holistic view of the state of knowledge around wind energy and other renewable systems risk and reliability issues. In addition to considering renewable systems themselves, the scope of the seminar includes the embedding of such systems within the network, and the risk and reliability issues that arise as a consequence.
Papers for the seminar are invited from all stakeholders.
• Submission of abstracts: 16th January 2012
• Notification to the authors: 1st February 2012
• Full submission of camera-ready papers: 2nd April 2012
• Other ESReDA joint activities: Board of Directors meeting and project groups meeting: 14th May, 2012

43rd ESReDA Seminar on
Land Use Planning and Risk-Informed Decision Making – ‘Aménagement
du Territoire et Prise de Décision en Maitrise de Risques’
October 21-23, 2012, INSA-Rouen, 76801 Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray Cedex, France
Land use planning and management of cities and different zones
of industrial/commercial
activities represents a major challenge today. Decision makers have to consider complex sets of constraints of different nature and to integrate wider range of risks before taking decisions and
committing resources for medium and long term planning. These constraints may be of societal, economical, geo-political and even ethical nature. They need rationalizing their decisions and minimizing potential risks in order to guarantee an acceptable level of global security.
Risks could be of varying kinds: natural, man-induced, s
ystemic or criminal. These different sources of risk are interacting in today’s developed societies. Subsequently, rational and optimized land use planning decision-making process can’t be guaranteed except through the development of multidisciplinary robust tools and methodologies based on full identification of risks.
Upper Normandy is known for its long history of industrial activities. Subsequently, the research in reduction of industrial risks and environmental impacts is emerging as a new technical underlying activity in the region. Upper-Normandy is engaged in supporting and encouraging the emerging research in this field and is willing to develop the relevant skills and knowledge.

Henri Procaccia - Elder Statesman of ESReDA |
|

As a permanent and most senior member of the ESReDA Bureau of Directors (BoD), Henri Procaccia is viewed as something of a sage by association members. Given that Henri’s experience in reliability and risk assessment stretches over four decades, along with his personal involvement with EUReDATA since its inception in 1973, it’s not surprising that he has achieved elder statesman status.
Alongside Cyp van Rijn and Hans Wingender, Henri was instrumental in the merging of EUReDATA and ESRRDA which took effect in 1992, and it is testament to his commitment to the association that Henri has retained the same level of enthusiasm that marked his days as the first vice chairman of ESReDA.
It was Henri who organised and hosted the first ESReDA seminar in the beautiful city of Chamonix, which was devoted to equipment ageing and maintenance. This was to be the first in a series of seminars on safety and maintenance, organised by Henri and his Electricité de France EDF colleagues in France.
Other included, Operational Safety (Lyon 1993), Maintenance and System Effectiveness (Chamonix 1994), Rotating and Machinery and Maintenance (Chamonix 1996), and Industrial Application of Structural Reliability, which was organized by a new ESReDA project group launched by Henri in 1997.
To mark the 30th birthday of EUReDATA/ESReDA, a Lifetime Management of Structures seminar was held in Paris in 2003. Recalls Henri: “I don’t know if it was the Paris charm or the French food and wine at the gala dinner, but I was elected Honorary Member of ESReDA”.
“When I retired from EDF at the end of 1990 decade,” explains Henri, “I took the charge of treasurer of ESReDA until now, staying on at the ESReDA BoD where I am now the oldest director at the age of 70.”
