We are delighted to invite you to the final project meeting of PARATUS (Promoting Disaster Preparedness and Resilience by Co-developing Stakeholder Support Tools for Managing the Systemic Risk of Compounding Disasters).

This event brings together scientists and stakeholders to share knowledge, exchange experiences, and strengthen collaboration.

The day is structured in two parts. The morning session focuses on the tools developed within the PARATUS project and the Disaster Risk Stakeholder Hub (DRS Hub), offering participants the opportunity to explore and experience these tools firsthand. The afternoon session will feature the official final meeting of the project, including panel discussions and presentations of key results.
