Induced seismicity risk is the potential for geothermal activities to cause small earthquakes. Induced seismicity risk and risk management are crucial aspects of geothermal projects, particularly in urban areas. This involves assessing the potential for human-induced earthquakes and implementing strategies to minimise and manage this risk.

The URGENT project incorporates advanced monitoring techniques and decision-making protocols to ensure safe and sustainable geothermal energy production in European cities.
