- To carry out a more detailed assessment of key research challenges and to identify priority research areas;
- To identify pioneering scientific initiatives to effectively reduce the gaps between science and practice in disaster risk reduction activities;
- To share and build on achievements, and outcomes of past and ongoing GADRI Projects addressing research gaps;
- To foster links between local and international organizations and their programs through the GADRI network.
One of the expected outcomes of the 3rd Global Summit will be a comprehensive table of research areas by disaster management phases identifying key and/ or critical research challenges.
