Fifth Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre (DRMKC) Annual Seminar
Workshop report, 17-18 November 2021
On 17-18 November 2021 the 5th Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre (DRMKC) Annual Seminar took place, after two years of break caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Those two years brought significant changes to the risk landscape: the COVID-19 crisis was accompanied by a series of natural disasters that hit Europe and the world in particular during summer 2021. These concomitant disasters require from us to oversee, anticipate and manage these crisis in a more coordinated way.
In this evolving risk landscape science has gained a place of honor and become more central to policy making. This is the case particularly for disaster risk management where the role of Science and Policy Interface has become prominent. The 5th DRMKC took place in this context where higher ambitions are expected from Science. Compared to the previous annual seminars, where the DRMKC was progressively working towards establishing its role as the main entity at the interface between Science and Policy in the field of Disaster Risk Management, this year’s seminar confirmed the place of the DRMKC as the core of the Science Pillar of the newly established Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network.
This report summarizes the outcomes of the discussions that took place in 5 sessions over two days. The results of this event, all comments and suggestions, are being carefully considered in the ongoing design of the roadmap of Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network Science Pillar.
