ROSE School (European School for Advanced Studies in Reduction of Seismic Risk)
Mission
Created in 2001, the ROSE School (European School for Advanced Studies in Reduction of Seismic Risk) developed a second-level Master’s Programme and a Doctoral Programme focused on earthquake engineering research for mitigation of seismic risk.
In 2011, the ROSE School’s scope for assessing and mitigating risk broadened to include other types of hazards, such as flood and chemical, and resulted in the ROSE doctoral programme being included as one of the training and research branches of the UME (Understanding and Managing Extremes) doctoral programme. The original ROSE School programme thus became the ROSE Curriculum and maintained its strong focus on the reduction of seismic risk alongside the new NatRisk Curriculum (Hydrometeorological, Geological, Chemical and Environmental Risk), which addressed a broad variety of subjects. The main objective was the assessment and mitigation of seismic and other risks due to natural hazards, to provide a system within which candidates could study, understand and manage the consequences of extreme events.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
