On 11 and 12 April the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies hosted the first specialized workshop of the EU KAPP project EUMA (Creating a EUropean Higher Education Network for MAster’s Programmes in Disaster Risk Management).
The workshop focused on the legal and institutional aspects of cross-border humanitarian assistance. Distinguished experts led group discussions on the main topic. Participants in the workshop included representatives of the Italian Army, Fire and Rescue Service and Red Cross as well as members of foreign governmental and non-governmental institutions and other partner universities. The outcomes of the discussions will be incorporated into a final report, influencing the curriculum development of a new postgraduate Master’s programme on disaster risk management.
