BRIdges the GAp for Innovations in Disaster resilience (BRIGAID)
Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Apr 30, 2020,
Recent studies from the IPCC indicate that Europe is particularly prone to increased risks of river and coastal floods, droughts resulting in water restrictions and damages from extreme weather such as heat events and wildfires. Evaluations also show a huge potential to reduce these risks with novel adaptation strategies. Researchers, innovators and incubators develop innovative products and servi ...

Enhancing risk management partnerships for catastrophic natural disasters in Europe (ENHANCE)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
The main goal of the ENHANCE project is to develop and analyse new ways to enhance society’s resilience to catastrophic natural hazard impacts, by providing new scenarios and information in selected hazard cases in close collaboration with stakeholders, and by contributing to the development of new multi-sector partnerships (MSPs) to reduce or redistribute risk. Innovation in MSPs is essential, a ...
