Dear colleagues, On behalf of the EU-funded project ANDROID I would like to invite all RADIX’ers to a short survey on interdisciplinary research and/or education in the field of disaster resilience and related areas. The survey is one of the activities of ANDROID which aims to identify and promote innovative inter-disciplinary working and co-operation among scientific communities, tackling the challenge associated with natural and human induced hazards. Please see www.disaster-resilience.net<http://www.disaster-resilience.net%3chttp:/www.disaster-resilience.net> for further information about ANDROID, or feel free to contact me at any time. The survey will not take more than 10 minutes. Online survey link: http://www.survey.disaster-resilience.net/index.php/868699/lang-en Sincerely, Jörgen Sparf [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]:[log in to unmask]> Risk and Crisis Research Center www.miun.se/rcr<http://www.miun.se/rcr> Mid Sweden University ANDROID aims to promote co‐operation and innovation among European Higher Education Institutes (HEI) to increase society’s resilience to disasters of human and natural origin. The network’s teaching and research is concerned with what resilience is, what it means to society, and how societies might achieve greater resilience in the face of increasing threats from natural and human induced hazards. The network will create a European approach that will help us understand the attributes that enable physical, socio-cultural, politico-economic and natural systems to adapt, by resistance or changing in order to reach and maintain an acceptable level of functioning. The network will also raise awareness and promote a common understanding among stakeholders of the importance of disaster resilience education and the essential role of European HEIs in improving society’s ability increase disaster resilience.
