Welcome to the GSRIDRR 2017!

The Third Global Summit of Research Institutes for Disaster Risk Reduction: Expanding the Platform for Bridging Science and Policy Making (GSRIDRR 2017) will take place at the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University, Uji Campus, Oubaku Plaza, Kyoto, Japan from 19 to 21 March 2017.

This conference provides:

• an opportunity for all those who are involved in disaster risk reduction (DRR) activities, disaster research and related fields to come together, share knowledge and research work.

• An opportunity for various stakeholders in research institutes, international organizations, governments and private sectors, engaged in disaster risk reduction (DRR) to share visions and directions for implementation in the real world.

• This is especially an ideal occasion for members of the Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes (GADRI) to come together, and share their respective research work, share responsibility and voice in unification evidence-based statements for implementation.

We extend an invitation to all researchers and practitioners who are engaged in DRR to join the 3^rd Global Summit and contribute to realizing disaster risk reduction in the real world.
