Project at glance

CORE (sCience& human factOr for Resilient sociEty) is a multi-disciplinary consortium established to understand how to define common metrics with respect to the different natural and man-made disaster scenarios, and how to measure, control and mitigate the impact on the populations, particularly on vulnerable groups: disabled, elderly, poor, as well as women and children. It contributes to Horizon 2020’s focus on secure societies where citizens are facing increasingly threatening situations. Recent natural and manmade disasters have shown gaps in the level of preparedness of European society for disasters, highlighting the importance of increasing risk awareness, which ensures a direct positive impact on citizen and organisational resilience among people and decision-makers in Europe. CORE will identify and use best practice and knowledge/learning from certain countries, such as Japan which experienced high levels of seismic, volcanic and tsunami risks but where risk awareness is high. It will provide optimized actions and solutions to help restructure and rebuild socio-economic structures after a disaster, across and outside Europe (Israel, India & Japan), where it will have access, through the end-users, to the relevant base of knowledge. CORE will lead to more efficient and effective policies, governance structures and broad awareness and collaboration among citizens, as well as between citizens and rescue agencies. Best practice and best procedures will be identified and reported to policymakers, end-users and disseminated to all stakeholders and NGOs. CORE will devote great attention to education in schools, making the young generation a sort of "prevention sentinels".

The SRC Policy Brief is now out!

The SRC Policy Brief is now out!

The Societal Resilience Cluster (SRC) policy brief on "Strengthening Societal Resilience to Disasters" is now available!

We are pleased to announce that CORE, alongside 8 other sister projects from the SRC, was one of the contributors that developed the brief.

Throughout 2023, CORE has taken part in a series of meetings with its sister projects involved in the Societal Resilience Cluster (SRC) to discuss the possibility of developing joint policy outputs that would cover some of the emerging issues that spanned from the research and innovation work of each of the projects.

The series of discussions brought to light two key aspects that the Cluster decided to focus on, namely:

improving citizens' engagement
strengthening the communication among citizens and authorities involved with Disaster Risk Management and Disaster Preparedeness.

Bades on this, through the facilitation of the Crisis Management Innovation Network (CMINE), with the technical support of the Horizon Results Booster Service, nine sister projects within the SRC including CORE developed a summary of key policy recommendations on strengthening the resilience to disasters in the European communities with a lens on the two topic identified above.

A lot of support was also received from Philippe Quevaviller (DG HOME) and the CERIS DRS group to ensure that the final product was an easily accessible tool for policymakers.

A huge thanks to LINKS, ENGAGE, MEDiate, PARATUS and RiskPACC for the development of this policy brief!
