The IRAX Vision Document outlines the Infrastructure Resilience Academic Exchange (IRAX) initiative by CDRI. IRAX aims to integrate disaster resilient infrastructure into global academic systems to prepare professionals for climate and disaster challenges. It envisions a University Consortium (IRAX-UC) to foster collaboration, curriculum development, and research.
Key initiatives include faculty training, a model DRI curriculum, fellowships, resilience centres, and partnerships between industry and academia. IRAX promotes interdisciplinary learning, capacity building, and innovation in infrastructure resilience.
Governed by a Steering Committee and supported by the CDRI Secretariat, IRAX seeks to position academia as a global stakeholder in DRI, ensuring future infrastructure is robust, inclusive, and adaptive to climate risks.
