Contents
With regard to increasing natural hazards, such as floods and earthquakes, innovative, sustainable and resilient approaches to solutions are required that strengthen the adaptability of socio-technical systems and infrastructures. In order to develop such approaches, competencies are necessary that enable students as future “change agents” to deal with uncertainty and complexity. This requires cooperative and interdisciplinary approaches and skills. Therefore, this course aims to sensitize students to dealing with natural hazards from their respective disciplinary perspectives.
By presenting theoretical concepts and foundations from the fields of risk research and disaster management, among others, students will gain an insight into current scientific and interdisciplinary discourses. Based on this, they will work in multidisciplinary teams on a crisis-specific case study with a focus on “learning from failure” regarding various failure and adaptation mechanisms in order to develop creative solutions.
Learning Outcome
After completing the course, you are able to
- Explain theoretical concepts in the context of disastermanagement
- Explain the relevance of disaster management for your own professionaltraining
- Identify and analyze failure mechanisms and actors involved in selected disasterscenarios
- Derive implications for future disasterevents
- Present your findings convincingly to people from otherdisciplines
Program
-Please note that places for participation in this seminar are very limited. Therefore, please only register if you would also like to take part in the examination (4 CP).
-If you are only interested in the topic and do not need CP, you are welcome to attend the individual lectures.
(If you attend regularly, we recommend that you add yourself to the learning room as an additional participant; you will no longer be entitled to take the exam, but you will receive all the important news. If you are interested, please contact Alina Meyer).
