On today’s International Volunteer Day, we honour the commitment of those who dedicate their free time to helping others. In Austria, this amounts to around 3.7 million people – thus, nearly every second person aged 15 and older engages in voluntary, unpaid work, according to current figures from Statistics Austria. Several of our DCNA colleagues have also been volunteering for many years – today, we would like to put a spotlight on them.
TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology) hosted an exchange event focused on security, defense, and disaster research, as well as the corresponding funding opportunities this week. DCNA was also part of it – complete with its new walking robot and research lab bus.
Since November 1, 2025, DCNA is part of another research project: FloodPrep aims to support decision-makers and emergency services before, during, and after heavy rainfall events. At the same time, it strengthens the link between science and practice by aligning simulation tools more closely with the requirements of real-world crisis situations.
