CIDR Symposium
At the end of last year, the Center for Interdisciplinary Disaster Research (CIDR) was founded at 海角直播, which is an association of several research groups and is dedicated to interdisciplinary research to improve disaster management. We would like to invite interested parties to the first symposium of the CIDR on June 10, 2024 from 12:00 noon in Kaiserslautern. While the first part of the symposium will provide an introduction to the topic and present the CIDR's thematic areas, the second part will give participants the opportunity to discuss relevant issues relating to civil protection and disaster management in a practical-scientific dialog. In addition, there will be an opportunity to network with other civil protection stakeholders throughout the day during the networking breaks and at the get-together in the evening.
The detailed program and the possibility to register can be found here: https: Participation in the event is free of charge.
We look forward to welcoming you to the CIDR Symposium.
