Scientific networking and open science
In the framework of the global geo-disaster risk reduction activities the Chair is a member of the following international associations:
- International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) (founding member since 2002);
- International Consortium on Geo-disaster Reduction (ICGdR) (since 2014);
- Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes (GADRI) (founding member since 2015);
- Joint International Center on Natural Hazards (JIC-Nh) (co-founding member with the Shimane and the Beijing universities since 2016). This is a new collaborative platform for engaging discussion, sharing knowledge and promoting networks on topics related to risk reduction and resilience to disasters, based on the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (SFDRR).
Since the 2017/2018 academic year the Chair has organized and launched a new International Academic Master Degree on “Geoengineering” (GEM), totally in English language, with the joint competences of the all core members of the Chair. GEMs’s mission is to train experts on prevention, management and mitigation of geo-hydrological risks.
Several conferences, workshops, seminars, webinars and lectures have been organized, aiming at promoting a knowledge sharing network, through capacity building and dissemination. Training were addressed to academics, scientific organizations, Italian and foreign students.
