Réseau universitaire

La résilience des infrastructures garantit la continuité des services et la sécurité des sociétés. Des professionnels compétents sur tout le cycle de vie des infrastructures sont essentiels face à la montée des risques climatiques et catastrophiques.

Le programme « Infrastructure Resilience Academic Exchange (IRAX) » de la CDRI crée des réseaux universitaires, pour promouvoir la recherche et renforcer les compétences en DRI.

IRAX forme une nouvelle génération de professionnels spécialisés en infrastructures résilientes aux catastrophes, renforçant la préparation mondiale et soutenant le développement d’infrastructures durables.
