Professor Richard Haigh presented a "Roadmap for European disaster resilience network for education - ANDROID" at the Multi-Stakeholder Segment IGNITE Stage at the UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction held in Sendai Japan from 14 – 18 March 2015.
The IGNITE Stage is a special venue where WCDRR participants are allowed to present a disaster risk reduction topic, project or initiative. Its aim is to widen the array of topics that are discussed at the World Conference. Applications were judged by a jury based on their originality and relevance to current and future global DRR efforts.
ANDROID (Academic Network for Disaster Resilience to Optimise educatIonal Development) led by Professor Richard Haigh is an EU funded international partnership of higher education institutes and key actors in disaster resilience that has been formed to help develop innovative European education that tackles disaster risk. This presentation included an outline of the ANDROID network’s mission, its achievements to date, including a European roadmap for disaster resilience education, and its plans for the future.
