Towards a Risk Institute

The Risk@Univ. Grenoble Alpes project goal is to develop cross-disciplinary research and scientific innovation in the field of disaster and risk management in areas that are made vulnerable due to a strong interdependency between human, natural or technological hazards. In addition to the Grenoble basin, the project will focus on other specific vulnerable territories such as the Beirut area (Lebanon), the Port-au-Prince city (Haiti), and areas in Peru and in Nepal, The project also aims at proposing a risk institute in the Grenoble Alpes area.

The main goal of the project is to contribute to the proactive mitigation of disaster risks and the development of the culture of risk. It is dedicated to a global and regional challenge, which is fundamental for the decades to come, due to the increase of the world population with often-anarchic densification of urbanized areas, the increasing human impact on ecosystems, but also the emergence of new risks induced by the climate change and the technological development.
