On July 27th, the final event of the FFG project took place together with the German consortium (thanks to the "Kooperative R&D" funding scheme) at the Tritolwerk, the disaster relief training ground of the Austrian Armed Forces. The final event started with presentations by the project consortium and the sponsors, after which the system was presented in action.
The Disaster Research Conference Fachtagung Katastrophenforschung 2023 will take place from September 11th to 12th at the Montanuniversität Leoben. The aim is to bring together science and practice in disaster management in order to be as well prepared as possible for the challenges of preparing for and dealing with disasters. At the symposium, research results and projects will be presented from the application side and possibilities for utilization will be pointed out. Plenty of space and time for networking are also planned.
We are pleased to announce that the Johanniter Research & Innovation Centre has joined DCNA as an associate member.
