Scope
SHARE is a Collaborative Project in the Cooperation programme of the Seventh Framework Program of the European Commission. SHARE's main objective is to provide a community-based seismic hazard model for the Euro-Mediterranean region with update mechanisms. The project aims to establish new standards in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) practice by a close cooperation of leading European geologists, seismologists and engineers.

From Regional To Global Scale
SHARE is one of the Regional Programmes of the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) providing essential input and feedback on all hazard assessment procedures and standards in Europe. SHARE and GEM are  working together in the development of a computational infrastructure for open-source  probabilistic seismic hazard assessment.

Progress
SHARE started on June 1, 2009. First year activities were focused on data collection, preparing requirement documentation and setting up the SHARE IT-infrastructure. In the second year the projects entered into the hazard model building phase and initial SHA computations, emphasizing also the feedback on the newly generated input data. Currently, the preliminary hazard model is assembled and will be reviewed by the end of 2011, preparing the final hazard model release in spring 2012.
