The aim is to foster interaction among science and research and disaster risk reduction policies, through dialogues involving scientists, practitioners, risk managers, policymak- ers, and local communities. The event will showcase the latest research findings and innovative solutions aimed at enhancing societal resilience. Participants will engage in knowledge-sharing, tool development, and strategy formulation, addressing the multi- faceted challenges of disaster risk reduction. It will serve as a crucial platform for fos- tering collaboration, strengthening partnerships, and driving forward the integrated ap- proaches essential for effective disaster risk mitigation and management.

Disaster Research Days 2024 is a joint event by CERIS and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction’s European Science and Technology Advisory Group (E-STAG). It will be co-hosted by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance, the Austrian Federal Min- istry of Science, Research and Education and the Disaster Competence Network Austria.
