2015 Advanced Institute on Disaster Risk Reduction and Loss Mitigation

Transcription

1 2015 Advanced Institute on Disaster Risk Reduction and Loss Mitigation Background The Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) program is a decade-long program of international research and related activities that aims to bring together the natural, socio-economic, health and engineering sciences in coordinated efforts to address the challenges brought about by natural disasters, mitigate their impacts and improve related policy-making mechanisms. The IRDR partnership effort seeks to achieve this objective, among others, by a series of intensive training institutes that promote advancement of IRDR s priority themes and projects. Each Advanced Institute for IRDR brings together young to middle-career researchers and practitioners from a specific region, country or thematic expertise and provides them with the enhanced understanding, skills and resources to design, organize and carry out IRDR related studies in their own countries. The 2015 Advanced Institute on Disaster Risk Reduction and Loss Mitigation will similarly provide approximately young to middle-career researchers and practitioners from Southeast Asia with the enhanced understanding; skills and practical knowledge to reduce disaster risk and mitigate disaster losses in their own countries. The 6-day, intensive training event is hosted and organized by the IRDR International Center of Excellence (IRDR- ICoE in Taipei, Taiwan, in partnership with START ( the International Council for Sciences ( and IRDR ( This year s AI will cover a number of themes, including integrative Risk Management; Disaster typologies (earthquake, hydrometeorological disasters) and approaches, tools and systems for risk and loss reduction; Socio-economic aspects of disaster loss; Recovery and Reconstruction after Disasters and Policy and planning in disaster risk and loss reduction. The sessions will include lectures by eminent scholars and practitioners in disaster risk reduction and management, hands-on interactive exercises, trainee panels, and field visits. All participants will conceptualize an individual or collaborative project, to be presented in plenary session at the conclusion of the Advanced Institute, which may later be submitted for competitive funding to support follow-on research activities.
