The CERIS event focused on Disaster-Resilient Societies for Europe will discuss existing and developing networking initiatives from the international to the local levels in support of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) policies, synergies between DRR research and capacity-building projects, as well as enhanced access to knowledge in societal resilience, technologies for first and second responders, prevention/preparedness for climate/weather extreme events and geohazards, and resilience to CBRN threats with focus on medical emergencies.

More than 25 EU (research and capacity-building) projects will be represented, with more than 40 speakers in various panels, involving policy-makers, scientists, practitioners, SMEs and civil society organisations.
