Project at glance

CORE (sCience& human factOr for Resilient sociEty) is a multi-disciplinary consortium established to understand how to define common metrics with respect to the different natural and man-made disaster scenarios, and how to measure, control and mitigate the impact on the populations, particularly on vulnerable groups: disabled, elderly, poor, as well as women and children. It contributes to Horizon 2020’s focus on secure societies where citizens are facing increasingly threatening situations. Recent natural and manmade disasters have shown gaps in the level of preparedness of European society for disasters, highlighting the importance of increasing risk awareness, which ensures a direct positive impact on citizen and organisational resilience among people and decision-makers in Europe. CORE will identify and use best practice and knowledge/learning from certain countries, such as Japan which experienced high levels of seismic, volcanic and tsunami risks but where risk awareness is high. It will provide optimized actions and solutions to help restructure and rebuild socio-economic structures after a disaster, across and outside Europe (Israel, India & Japan), where it will have access, through the end-users, to the relevant base of knowledge. CORE will lead to more efficient and effective policies, governance structures and broad awareness and collaboration among citizens, as well as between citizens and rescue agencies. Best practice and best procedures will be identified and reported to policymakers, end-users and disseminated to all stakeholders and NGOs. CORE will devote great attention to education in schools, making the young generation a sort of "prevention sentinels".

💡 In the HERoS Project, they have developed a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) titled Health Emergency Response to a Pandemic.
In this course, they have distilled three years of research on the COVID-19 pandemic into four interconnected pieces: crisis governance, behavioural and epidemiological modeling, medical logistics, and social media analytics.

🏫 Four top European Universities, Hanken School of Economics, Delft University of Technology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) and The Open University joined forces to create this course along with the project partners such as Italian Red Cross of Ardea, Fundacja Polskie Centrum Pomocy Międzynarodowej (PCPM), Project HOPE, Centrum Badań Kosmicznych Polskiej Akademii Nauk, Nordic Healthcare Group, and Squadron Sp. z o.o.. The course will be offered in the FutureLearn (https://lnkd.in/eGD-SC3U) Platform early next year.

🎞 Here is the trailer for the course: https://lnkd.in/eVztj3EF.
