PEARL at the International workshop “Resilience: Just do it?!- Governing for resilience in vulnerable places” organised by the Coastal Resilience Research Group, Groningen, the Netherlands October 9–10, 2014

/in , , /by

This international workshop aims at exploring ways of ‘doing’ resilience, considering its ethical, social and political issues at stake. The further aim is to bring researchers and practitioners with different (levels of) expertise together to discuss the ways they conceptualize and use resilience.

Natasa Manojlovic from TUHH, as a keynote speaker, will introduce the activities of the PEARL project related to coastal resilience, risk governance and participatory planning.

PEARL presented at the seminar “Flood Damage survey and assessment: new insights from research and practice”, 11-12 April 2014 in Bastia Umbra, Italy

/in , /by

The activities of PEARL related to flood damage assessment and operational flood management are presented at the seminar on damage assessment. The seminar is organised by the Monitoring and Warning Centre of the Umbria Region (i.e. Centro Funzionale Decentrato, CFD) and by Politecnico di Milano. It is held on 11-12 April 2014 during and thanks to the sponsorship of EXPO Emergenze, the Italian exhibition for emergency and security.

The first objective of the seminar is to analyse which is the state of art one year after EXPO’s first meeting, and to understand whether or not things are improved if priorities and needs have changed. The second objective is to extend the network of people created in the first meeting, increasing the sharing of experience and knowledge among both practitioners and scientists in Italy and worldwide.
