Browse through the programme of this year's DCNA symposium "Disaster Research Meets Operational Practice – Drones and Robotics in Focus"! The event for organizations with security tasks will take place between September 18 & 20, 2025, as part of the RETTER trade fair in Wels, Upper Austria.
We are happy to have a new member of staff on board of DCNA: Richard Halatschek started his job as a research associate in April.
The panel opened with a keynote introduction to the One Health concept, emphasizing its integrated and transdisciplinary approach to balancing the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems. The session underscored the interdependencies across sectors and called for cross-disciplinary collaboration in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
