The project GeoDRR - Geomatics for Disaster Risk Reduction is funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission. It has a key objective to support Partner Country HEIs in building their capacity to develop and deliver high quality and specialisation academic programmes that can suitably prepare young scientists and professionals to provide applicable solutions to various societal problems, focusing on these resulting from climate change, mainly disaster risk vulnerability and susceptibility.

In conjunction with the Final Transnational Project Meeting, UUM will organise a two-day Final Conference (GeoDRR Final Conference 2024) of the Project to promote a Master program, M.Sc. GeoDRR and the Project results. The conference will be organised at UUM to disseminate the Project, raise awareness to local communities, attract students to attend the MSc, engage stakeholders to exploit and sustain the results, and develop links between graduates and the labour market.

Keynote speakers will be invited to share about natural hazards and disaster risk reduction, and latest trend of the use of Geo-Information applications. The conference will be attended by all GeoDRR partners and is also opened to public with at least 100 external participants.
