Dr. Christian Resch of the Disaster Competence Network Austria (DCNA) and the team are happy to share with GADRI Community the attached English version of the Austrian DRR Science Plan.
The Science Plan is the result of a comprehensive consultation process with experts from more than 40 scientific institutions, as well as representatives from authorities, emergency organizations, and industry, and includes many research questions and priorities that focus on social science analyses, technical innovations, ecological approaches and political frameworks.
"Our goal is not only to respond to disasters, but to proactively anticipate them and minimize their impacts. To do this, it is essential to deepen scientific knowledge and make it accessible to political decision-makers, practitioners and the general public",
says Christian Resch, Executive Director of the DCNA. The Science Plan specifically defines research questions in the field of disaster protection and serves as a strategic guide to developing scientific findings in the coming years that focus on current and future challenges in disaster management - from prevention to crisis management to reconstruction.
