The occurrence of a moderate size earthquake in a dense monitored seismic region as the recent Mw 6.3 L'Aquila earthquake, represents a unique opportunity to investigate the complexity of earthquake rupture processes and to refine our observation and modelling tools, which can be of great support for the emergency management during future seismic crises. Following a specific IEC's suggestion, we propose to start or integrate a series of new activities, experiments and data collections taking L'Aquila as a test-site with the aim to exploit at best the massive multi- disciplinary data availability from permanent and temporary seismic and GPS networks.

These research activities are integrated in S5 as a new task (Task 4). All the results derived from this Task will be made available to the other seismological projects.

The task is organized in 6 Working Packages.
