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".

CORE partner of the 2024 Disaster Expo Europe

CORE partner of the 2024 Disaster Expo Europe

Pleased to announce that CORE is one of the partners of the Disasters Expo Europe which will take place in Messe Frankfurt on 15th and 16th May this year!

This year's European edition of the Disasters Expo Europe sees the collaboration with some eminent agencies including The World Bank, The International Fund for Animal Welfare, the European Space Agency (ESA) as well as the CORE project.

Our colleagues at SAHER, the Italian Red Cross and the University of Applied Sciences for Public Affairs in Bavaria will be representing CORE as part of the keynote speakers program. The session will be an opportunity to present the results and lessons learned from the comparative analysis of disaster response, recovery and resilience gathered from the seven disaster scenarios that were selected as case studies by the our project.

The Exposition in Frankfurt will be a great opportunity to connect with key leaders in the field of disaster preparedness and management as well as exploring cutting-edge solutions in the field.

Interested visitors will be able to visit the expo for FREE by registering HERE
