SHARE is a Collaborative Project in the Cooperation programme of the Seventh Framework Program of the European Commission.

The main objective of SHARE is to provide an updated, living seismic hazard model for the Euro-Mediterranean region. The project aims to establish new standards in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) practice by a close cooperation of leading European seismologists and engineers.

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.

SHARE, a 3 year project, started on June 1, 2009 and entered its second year with a successful progress review at the 1st Annual Meeting held at INGV in Rome on June 15 / 16, 2010.  The focus of the first year activities was dedicated to data collection, preparing requirement documentation and setting up the SHARE IT-infrastructure. In the second year the projects enters into the hazard model building phase and initial SHA computations, emphasizing also the feedback on the newly generated input data.

SHARE activities are coordinated with related projects that are carried out on a national, European and global scale.
