Key information

Description

Due to the success of the previous Evidence for Policy in DRM Summer Schools (2020 and 2023), the Commission and the Civitas Soteria consortium (ICF and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna) are reorganising the school for 2024 in Vienna, Austria with the University of Vienna as host. In 2023, 85% of participants (N=80) rated the overall quality of the programme as above average or very high.

The Summer School's objective is for participants to gain:

• New knowledge on how to better integrate scientific evidence into policymaking.
  • Scientists will learn how to better communicate and visualise their results, tackle uncertainty and align their projects with policy and operational needs.
  • Policymakers and operational staff will learn how research can support policy, which science can be relevant to their field, where to find it and how to interpret it, and what can be expected from researchers.
• New insights on how ‘the other side’ operates.
• Enlarged network of likeminded professionals, working on disaster risk management with ambition of using evidence in policymaking.
• Access to a global community of practice, exchanging top resources and expertise.
