The Flood Hazard Research Centre is undertaking a three year Erasmus+ Capacity building in Higher Education project. The overall aim of the project Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries is to build experts for prevention and management of natural disasters in the region of Western Balkan (WB) according to the local national and EU policies. In addition to building knowledge and skills the project will see the development of modernised laboratories with the latest hardware and software equipment for simulations and assessments of natural disasters, where students will gain practical knowledge that can be immediately applied, and the up-to-date library units will contribute to innovative new master study programmes. The project also involves staff and student mobility funding between the partner organisations and countries to gain training and experience.
Build educational capacity in disaster risk management within Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
