The application deadline for TRANSCEND’s 1st summer school is next Monday, May 12th.
This international one-week course will gather PhD students in Earth-, Engineering- and Social sciences.
The topics covered will be the following:
- dynamics and impacts of natural hazards (e.g., floods, droughts, wildfires and earthquakes)
- disaster risk management and social vulnerability under the umbrella of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR).
Through lectures, seminars, and group assignments, the course will explore DRR through the disaster management cycle (mitigation, preparation, response and recovery), looking at the interplay between natural hazards and societal impacts and responses, as well as the risk and uncertainty associated with them.
The summer school is co-organized with the Centre of Natural Hazards & Dister Science (CNDS) and co-sponsored by the European Geoscience Union (EGU).
