EnviroRISKs 2024 and CMDR COE Annual Conference

Date: (07-06-2024)
Since its official accreditation in 2015, our Centre acts as a focal point of crisis management and disaster response analysis, expertise building, information and best-practices sharing. This requires efforts in collaboration and in this context this year CMDR COE carried out combined annual conference with the Bulgarian Academy of Science. The joint venture – the Twelfth CMDR COE Annual Conference and the Third conference on Environmental Protection and Disaster Risks – encompassed articles focused on the expertise and experiences in the field of the climate change and security, disaster risks and human responses, and environmental protection. The main purpose of the event, regardless of their exact thematic or geographical accent, was to reveal beneficial practices that have been found and might be useful. Naturally, this idea reflects on the composition of the conference. Thus the event covered different topics on Disaster Management, Natural Hazards, Risk Reduction, Building Resilience, Management and Assessment, Climate Change Challenges and Security Implications, Pollution and Health, Water Resources, Ecology and Waste Management as well as Business Continuity Management (BCM) and Modeling & Simulations, GIS for environmental monitoring and Artificial Intelligence.
Here were the panels as follow -
