Mission
The mission of the National Institute for Earth Physics (NIEP) is:
- Monitoring of seismic activity in Romania
- Expansion of the boundaries of scientific knowledge, its creativity and efficiency increase through fundamental and applied researches in Earth physics domain, in general, and seismology domain, in particular.
Objectives
The National Institute for Earth Physics – NIEP (http://www.infp.ro) is the leading institution for seismology in Romania, responsible for the earthquake monitoring of the territory and basic and applied researches in seismology. According to the legal regulations in force, the main objectives of NIEP are related to:
- Seismicity, earthquake monitoring and database management;
- Physics of the earthquake source;
- Structure and dynamics of the Earth interior;
- Seismic hazard and risk;
- Seismic engineering;
- Seismotectonic processes;
- Earthquakes prediction;
