CDRI Fellowship Programme 2025 – 26 financially supports 56 fellows from 12 countries working on 20 innovative projects to enhance disaster resilient infrastructure globally. These projects address climate change and diverse hazards such as earthquakes, floods, wildfires, and tsunamis through interdisciplinary approaches.
Highlights include tsunami evacuation modelling in Japan-Peru, digital twin-based coastal resilience in India-Australia, wildfire-resistant bio-composites in India, and flood mapping in Vietnam. Other initiatives explore mangrove restoration in Japan, bushfire standards in Australia, and hospital heatwave readiness in Türkiye.
Fellowship programme fosters global collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and nature-based solutions, aligning with the SDGs. It empowers researchers and practitioners to develop scalable, sustainable solutions for infrastructure resilience in vulnerable regions worldwide.
