Disaster Research Days 2022 #DRD22

Science and research play an essential role in preventing disasters and building resilient systems. The transfer of scientific knowledge into practice, as well as the joint discourse with representatives of experts from authorities, emergency organizations and business are crucial in order to be as prepared as possible for challenges in the prevention and management of disasters.

The Disaster Research Days 2022 support this dialogue and the networking between the individual scientific disciplines and departments in disaster management.

The #DRD22 will be held from October 12th to 14th at the University of Innsbruck.
