Events

Join us for a dynamic series of events designed to keep you at the forefront of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) research and practice.

Our monthly live webinars bring together experts from partner organisations and global DRR research centers/institutes to report on the latest developments in the field. The biennial international conferences will provide an important multidisciplinary forum for academics, researchers, and practitioners to share the latest research developments and experiences, as well as exchange ideas.

The conference will be held in Loughborough from September 15 – 19 2024.

SIMR 2024 will create a multi-disciplinary forum for academic researchers and professionals to share research developments and practical experiences in developing and implementing multi-faceted approaches to address the global challenges created by increasing multi-hazard risk and climate change in a fast-changing world.
