Understanding Risk, Facilitating Resilience | Research Workshop

The Risk, Crises and Resilience theme is excited to announce an upcoming international workshop on 'Understanding Risk, Facilitating Resilience,' taking place on 23 April in the Norman building at the Lutkenieuwstraat!

Esteemed scholars from New Zealand, Sweden, England, and the Netherlands will gather to share their groundbreaking research and engage in discussions on various challenges and opportunities for disaster risk reduction!

This event will feature presentations from distinguished scholars including Lucia Danzi and Caroline Orchiston from the University of Otago, New Zealand; Monia Del Pinto from Loughborough University, UK; Shakti Shrestha from Uppsala University, Sweden; and Christina Prell from RUG, the Netherlands. The primary goal of this meeting is to share and engage in discussions on shared interests, and explore potential collaborations.
