Since January 2006, seven organisations (University College
London, Cambridge University, University of East Anglia, Portsmouth University,
ActionAid UK, Coventry University and the Institute of Development Studies)
have been working together to re-evaluate the role of science in disaster
risk management.
Based around a series of linked meetings over
two years, the network aims to explore the interface between physical
and social science approaches to managing disaster risk and uncertainty.
By developing interdisciplinary collaborative partnerships, the members
of the network intend to promote new research. Emphasis is placed on linking
with international partners, foregrounding the work of new
researchers and maintaining continuity through a 6-meeting series.
