We are pleased to announce CIGIDEN (Chile) has joined QuakeCoRE as an Affiliate Organisation.
CIGIDEN (Research Center for Integrated Disaster Risk Management) is a multidisciplinary research centre which brings together researchers from four universities in Chile around six different research themes.
CIGIDEN-’s mission is to develop a multidisciplinary approach to the study of natural hazards and the associated emergency response to allow a holistic focus on disaster risk reduction and building resilience. Through contributions to public policy and technology transfer, CIGIDEN is able to ensure that their research has a positive impact on Chile-’s resilience in the face of natural disasters.
One of CIGIDEN-’s core research areas is Risk and Resilience in complex systems and networks, within this area, the study of earthquake resilience is of key importance, given Chile-’s significant seismic risk.
Ken Elwood is the key contact at QuakeCoRE for our collaboration with CIGIDEN.
QuakeCoRE affiliate organisation status is available to international research centres and institutions that have a significant ongoing collaborative research relationship with QuakeCoRE
