Virtual Seminar Series

Please join our virtual seminar series, Disaster Resilience: A Social Scientific Perspective, run by UCL’s Earthquake and People Interaction Centre (EPICentre).

Seminars take place on Zoom, on the last Wednesday of each month, between September 2021 to February 2022 from 15:00-16:00 London, UK Time. 

Each session comprises a 30-minute talk by leading experts on an aspect of their research within the area of disaster resilience, followed by 30-minutes of discussion and question and answer. Through this series, we will engage in multidisciplinary discussion regarding fostering disaster resilience in a range of settings affected by hazards, such as earthquakes, tsunami, flooding, and wildfires.
