The Disaster-Resilient Societies (DRS) Thematic Area Event will take place in a hybrid format in Brussels on the 23-25 March 2022.
This 3-days workshop will cover various DRS aspects, namely Societal Resilience and Policy dialogues (23rd March), CBRN-E and standardisation (24th March), Technologies for First Responders, practitioners networking and Pandemics crisis management (25th March). The event will be co-organised/chaired by a range of H2020 DRS projects, which have set-up the agenda of the different sessions. It will involve a larger number of H2020 projects as well as representatives of different sectors (policy-making, research, SME/Industry, practitioners, civil society), thus providing a high-level platform of exchanges in the DRS area contributing to CERIS objectives. The meeting will be held in Brussels (BAO Congress Centre), mixing a physical participation and a virtual attendance (Zoom connection via CMINE).
The registration to attend the CERIS Disaster-Resilient Societies (DRS) Event is now open at https://www.cmine.eu/events/73793.
Please note that the event will be limited to a maximum physical attendance of 100 participants per day. In this respect, the deadline for registration has been set to the 10th March for participants wishing to attend in person. Tickets will be confirmed shortly after registration. If you are registering to attend in person, we count on you to inform us about any possible cancellation before the 18th March, in order to inform participants in a waiting list. This is also important for the logistics (including catering). Thank you for your understanding. The registration to attend on-line is unlimited and will be opened until March 21st.
For your information, the schedule DRS virtual events that was announced at the end of last year had to changed owing to other priorities. The plan is now to hold 2h30-WebEx events (from 10 to 12:30 each day) that will invite recently launched H2020 and Horizon Europe DRS projects to meet with advanced projects in order to exchange about the state-of-the-art of different DRS areas and to strengthen synergies. The new dates are, respectively, 15 June (Societal Resilience),16 June (Integrated Disaster Risk Management) 17 June (Technologies for First and Second Responders). In addition, another hybrid event has been provisionally scheduled (in Brussels) on the 14-16 September along the same format as the one proposed in March.
