Between March 2021 and September 2023, Florentin Weiss was a DCNA Young Scientist and was funded for his chemistry doctorate at the University of Innsbruck. After successfully completing his studies, he has now started his career in the chemical industry. In this interview, he tells us, among other things, how he benefited from the Young Scientists program.
Since the beginning of October 2023, DCNA has been leading a new research project funded by the Austrian Climate and Energy Fund: VULKANO aims to determine the extent to which Austrian communities take vulnerable groups into account when drawing up emergency and disaster plans.
We are pleased to welcome Frequentis AG as a new associated member of the Disaster Competence Network Austria.
