  European Conference on Risk Perception

  Behaviour, Management and Response

  The actual behaviour of individuals and government entities before, during, and immediately after a disaster can dramatically affect the impact, vulnerability, recovery time and resilience. Despite decades of research on disaster risk and perception, studies on actual damages and responses after disasters, decision-making tools, and actionable knowledge of the actual behaviour of the populations are still a challenge. Uncertainty derives from lack of information, lack of trust, alternatives, previous experience, but also segregation, oppression, etc. This conference is addressing the knowledge gap between risk perception, evacuation, response, and adaptation behaviour. It aims to build a multidisciplinary panoramic European view.

  Conference, symposium - Education

  The theories and practices of care

  L’objectif du colloque est de créer un espace de débat autour de l’idée de care. Les éthiques et philosophies du care qui se sont développées ces trois dernières décennies semblent, en effet, intéresser de nombreuses pratiques professionnelles (enseignement, travail social, aménagement du territoire, entre autres). Quatre domaines d'étude seront ainsi privilégiés dans ce colloque en relation avec les éthiques du care : l'éducation, l'environnement/aménagement, l'écologie de l'esprit et les pratiques artistiques.

Traditionally, the focus in the three-dimensional city is only on height growth. Still, urban subterranean world already host components and networks crucial to ensure a proper functioning of the city. In addition, more and more cities are also designing their future development underground, around the world.
