Description

The 6th DRMKC (Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre) Annual Seminar will take place next 22-23 November in Paris, jointly organized by JRC and DG ECHO. The event will be co-hosted by the French Ministry of Interior with opening remarks by the Czech EU Presidency.

This 2-day event aims to share the achievements of the Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network (UCPKN) Science Pillar in addressing challenges such as compound, concurrent and cascade events which need to be included in risk analysis or the communication challenges in risk management, among others.

Join the Seminar if you want to:

  • Know from the operational scientific networks about their needs and expectations from the Science Pillar (session 1)
  • Hear from the other scientific networks how they shape their science advice/research agendas accordingly (session 2)
  • Learn from the Member States their views on the opportunities/challenges of the integration of the various parallel, complex, connected processes like the National Risk Assessment, the (next) implementation of Disaster Resilience Goals, the development of Scenarios; we want to engage with the large community of DRMKC, also beyond the EU, to get inspiration for new answers to old and new problems (session 3)
  • Reflect on the topic of accessibility and communication of scientific knowledge and will present experiences of collaboration between scientists, practitioners, policy- and decision makers as well as application of research in civil protection and disaster risk management planning and operations (session 4).
