DG ECHO is intending to provide travel support to a limited number of civil protection-oriented PhD students and early career researchers from the UCPM Member/Participating States who submit an abstract, apply for travel support, and will present their findings at the conference.

The in-person format of this event will facilitate broader exchanges between stakeholders from policy makers, scientists, practitioners, research organisations and research communities driving the discussion of – and engagement with – compound and multi-hazard risk around the world. The conference will break silos between different communities, and promote an integrated approach that is key for reducing the risks posed by natural hazards and achieving a sustainable future for society!
