Call for Papers: JDR Special Issue on “ICoE Taipei Integrated Research on Disaster Risk 2022”

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 30 September 2022


Background

IRDR ICoE Taipei was established as an integrated research program for Disaster Risk Reduction that is co-sponsored by the International Science Council (ISC) and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR). It is one of the 18 ICoE members in the IRDR community, and also the first to be established in 2010. ICoE Taipei specializes in regional development, seeking to facilitate scientific activities through geographically-focused contributions and more localized community outreach. It focuses on capacity-building and collaborative research, aiming at enhancing local disaster risk reduction capacities in a decentralized manner through the establishment of knowledge-based actions, e.g. training workshops, in the Asia Pacific region. As an international platform, ICoE Taipei established a partnership network of interdisciplinary DRR-related fields and strengthened international collaborations, particularly for younger/early-career scientists.

With more than a dozen international training workshops (AI, Advanced Institute) organized in the past decade, ICoE Taipei has received hundreds of participants around the world. We thus intend to encourage the participants of each AI, in particular those who have been awarded to conduct a one-year Seed Grants project following an AI, to publish the results of their studies on the topics related to DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction). We work with the Journal of Disaster Research (JDR), a peer-reviewed open-access journal based in Japan, which has already approved this IRDR ICoE Taipei publishing project.
