Emergency Management: Themes in Emergency Planning, Response and Recovery
Tuesday 13 November 2012
Nottingham Conference Centre, Nottingham Trent University, UK
This is the inaugural conference for a new annual conference and networking event. The intention is to bring together academics and practitioners to learn about latest developments, share research and information and to allow the development of opportunities for promoting and initiating future research in the emergency services and emergency management. The conference presentations will be peer reviewed and include both oral and poster presentations.
As well as opportunities to share information and network across the broad spectrum of emergency management, the conference is intended to provide a forum for supporting and encouraging both experienced and early career researchers, as well as practitioners involved in practice-focussed research. Non-presenting delegates are also welcome and it is hoped that this audience will include not only academics but also those who work full or part-time within the emergency services, emergency planning, disaster management and allied professions.
A number of research prizes are associated with this event with the International Journal of Emergency Services offering a prize for the best oral presentation and the Emergency Services Research Unit at NTU offering a prize for the best student poster.
The conference organising committee is led by staff within the Emergency Services Research Unit (ESRU) and also includes external practitioners working in the field.
