Launch of Wageningen Disaster Network
Wageningen has a venerable history in crisis and disaster sociology since 1997, but in a world of pandemics, catastrophic flooding and droughts, unprecedented wildfires, and restless tectonic plates, it’s high time to reach out to other disciplines in Wageningen's domains. All with a research or policy interest in disasters in the Wageningen domain, their causes and consequences are most welcome to join us, from any relevant discipline, whether currently in Wageningen or working elsewhere with Wageningen roots. The key goal of this first meeting is getting (re)acquainted, looking for points of convergence and taking stock of current and potential initiatives.
We take pleasure in launching the Wageningen Disaster Network with a lecture & lunchtime networking event on Tuesday 25 April!
