The workshop, held as a hybrid event, brought together key stakeholders to gather their invaluable knowledge and experience on the needs and demands for the education of future disaster managers.
The meeting included presentations by Prof. Lothar Schrott on existing DRM Master's programmes, particularly focusing on the two related programmes (KaVoMa and Joint Master) at the University of Bonn. A SWOT analysis of the current educational situation of disaster managers was conducted. Participants also assessed essential and desirable skills for a (future) disaster risk manager.
The results of the Kick-off meeting will contribute in the development of the EUMA curriculum for a new postgraduate Master’s programme on disaster risk management.
