In celebration of its first year in operation, the UCL IRDR should like to invite you to participate in its first annual conference. The conference aims to draw together a varied and dynamic audience from across UCL and beyond to report on, explore and inform research in risk and disaster reduction through thought-provoking lectures and discussions. The conference will be rounded off with the summer party, which will be an opportunity for further interaction and networking.

IRDR General Meeting
Please send agenda items to Peter Sammonds (p.sammonds@ucl.ac.uk).
Venue
The conference will be held in the Pearson Lecture Theatre, which is located in the northwest corner of the main UCL quadrangle. Registration and breaks will be held in Pearson room G17, and lunch will be in G17 or the South Cloisters, weather dependent. The summer party will take place either in the Wilkins Roof Garden or the South Cloisters (if wet).
Natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunami, floods and storms destroy lives and damage economies across the globe; pandemics have the potential to bring death and suffering on an unprecedented scale; while climate change may increase the severity of both natural and health disasters.
How society sees risk, how to link understanding of the causative mechanics to statistical approaches, and how to increase resilience and reduce the risk of disasters are common themes cutting across research in natural, environmental, health and technological hazards.
Reducing global risks and disasters presents a colossal challenge that requires coordinated and collaborative action.
