New models for multinational collaborations on undergraduate degree programs in integrated disaster sciences and management

The exploration of a new model of transnational cooperation in the area of integrated disaster science and management for undergraduate degree is to start interdisciplinary cooperation during undergraduate years, and to introduce all kinds of knowledge into disaster risk reduction. The main goal of this study is to help shift from the current undergraduate teaching model to a multi-national, multi-disciplinary project-based model so as to integrate disaster-related research, education and services. This report is divided into four parts: 1) Overview of IDMR's DRR undergraduate educational vision. 2) International Network for Research Cooperation and undergraduate degree courses. 3) The role of “disaster information knowledge service” as a basic platform for integrating research and education.
