WHAT IS THE GROUP AIMING TO DO

The AESOP Thematic Group on Resilience and Risk Mitigation Strategies has the overall aim to strengthen communication about relationships between risk management and planning at European Level. With regard to three different possible audiences, three more specific aims can be identified:

 

  • Support attempts at European level to communicate about different perspective on, approaches to and concepts of risk management and spatial planning, especially strategic spatial planning (“researchers”);
  • Support attempts to exchange experiences about educational activities and programmes at European Level (“teachers in a broad sense”);
  • Support attempts to do researching and teaching based on collaboration between practitioners and scientists, thereby, considering the differences between risk managers and planners at European level (“practitioners”)
