Background: To date there have been ten “Cities on Volcanoes” (COV) conferences, with COV11 scheduled for May 2020. The purpose of these meetings is to bring together volcanologists, civil authorities, sociologists, psychologists, emergency managers, economists and city planners to enhance volcanic crises preparedness and management in cities and densely populated areas. 

A new logo for a new century!

To mark the occasion of our 100th birthday at the recent IUGG conference in Montreal, IAVCEI launched a new, fresh logo!

Earlier this year we put out a call for you to come up with your best designs, and we thank everyone who submitted a logo design.

There were some great entries! We put the finalists to the vote in June, and received 647 votes after removal of duplicates from the same email address.

We are happy to announce that the winning logo won by a large margin, receiving 43% of the total votes!  

The new IAVCEI logo was jointly designed by Mai Sas and Robert Dennen, who will each receive a four year membership of IAVCEI and waived registration fees at the next IAVCEI conference of their choice.  

Please use this logo moving forward!
