The Institute of Geography has played a major role in university and national scientific development to give rise to the Center for Research in Environmental Geography (CIGA), Campus Morelia, created in August 2007.

The Institute of Geography is the oldest and largest of its kind in central Mexico, currently its structure consists of three departments (Economic Geography, Physical Geography and Social Geography), a Laboratory Geospatial Analysis (LAGE), a Section Editorial (SE ) and two support units (Unit -UTI- Information Technology and Library which has more than 35,000 titles and houses the most comprehensive and important collection of the country in the field of geography, as well as one of the best map libraries, consisting of more than 20,000 documents).

They have been directors of the Institute Rita M. C. Llergo and Seoane Lopez (1943-1964), Dr. Consuelo Soto Mora (1964-1971), Dr. Maria Teresa Gutiérrez MacGregor (1971-1977), the .. Mr. Ruben Lopez Recendez (1977-1983), Dr. Maria Teresa Gutiérrez MacGregor-in his second period- (1983-1989), Dr. Román Álvarez Béjar (1989-1997, two four-year terms), the Dr. José Luis Palacio Prieto (1997-2003), Dr. Adrian Guillermo Aguilar Martínez (2004-2008), Dr. Irasema Alcantara Ayala (2008-2012) and currently Dr. José Omar Moncada Maya 2012 to date .

The mission of IgG National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) is to carry out and disseminate, both basic and applied, scientific research geographical nature aimed at knowledge of the territory and its natural, social and economic resources, considering its current use and potential. Its main object of study is the geographical space and the different forms of organization of the constituent elements, both physical and socioeconomic.

The Faculty of Sciences and Techniques-Mohammadia (FSTM), part of Hassan II University of Casablanca, belongs also to a network of eight Faculties of Sciences and Techniques (FST) throughout Morocco whose main vocation is academic training in science and technology. The FSTM, located in an area with strong industrial activity, and a vulnerable coastal area. Indeed the city of Mohammedia, and its wider region, namely Casablanca-Settat are facing important risks of floods and erosion. Probabilistic risk assessments for the entire country reveal that floods, earthquakes and tsunamis are expected to cost on average USD 500 million annually, of which flooding constitutes the biggest part. The main disaster risks in Morocco are floods and droughts, earthquakes, tsunamis, coastal erosion and sea level rise.sources.

In 1972, rescue, Resettlement and the Ministry of National Unity formed as canceled. Relief and Resettlement Department under the Ministry of Social Welfare Department. Relief and Resettlement Department, Emergency Management Center (EOC), Disaster Management Training Center (DMTC), Region / State Department's Office (15) Office and the Office of the District Officer's Office (29) activities. On 31.1.2018 the name of Relief and Resettlement Department, the Department of Disaster Management name was transformed.

Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan - and based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Globalization and climate change have an increasing influence on the stability of fragile mountain ecosystems and the livelihoods of mountain people.

ICIMOD aims to assist mountain people to understand these changes, adapt to them, and make the most of new opportunities, while addressing upstream-downstream issues.

We support regional transboundary programmes through partnership with regional partner institutions, facilitate the exchange of experience, and serve as a regional knowledge hub. We strengthen networking among regional and global centres of excellence. Overall, we are working to develop an economically and environmentally sound mountain ecosystem to improve the living standards of mountain populations and to sustain vital ecosystem services for the billions of people living downstream now, and for the future.

CDR addresses all aspects of Integrated Disaster Risk Management (Natural and Technological hazards) with a particular emphasis on disaster resilience. It combines physical sciences (hazard related studies like hydrology, geology, ...), social sciences (rural and urban planning, vulnerability studies, ...) and technological sciences (geo-information science, Earth observation, ...). It brings together nearly 70 scientists within the faculty ITC, ranging from PhD researchers to full professors, that have an interest in disaster resilience from their specific perspectives. CDR is also member of the 4TU-resilience initiative - a collaboration of the four technical universities in the Netherlands and it is one of the centers of excellence within the Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) research program.

Owing to the topography and people, Nepal has rich cultural heritage. Visualizing the economy, Nepal is in the process of transformation. The concern now is the development of the country and prosperity of the people. Prosperity is not only the material well-being; it is building capacity of the people with rights and responsibility.

Institute of Engineering (IOE) visioned to be instrumental to achieve this national goal of prosperity of the country and the people. This can be done by producing capable and competitive engineering graduates. Engineering education has two dimension; skill developing and capital formation. Both are equally important for the economic growth of the country. As the world is moving towards knowledge based economy, all the nations are entering into 'global skill race'. In this race, education knowledge and skills are assuming ever-greater importance. Understanding this essence, IOE is striving to move forward with market relevant programs and research works.

Since 1865 we have demonstrated scientific excellence in a country that straddles two tectonic plates, where earthquakes were first associated with geological faulting, and whose first Nobel Laureate, Ernest Rutherford, saw that radioactive isotopes could be used for geological dating.

Today, we continue these investigations, from the atomic to the planetary scale. These activities are expressed through our Māori name, Te Pū Ao, which means "the foundation, origin, and source of the world".

We are proud of our 140-year-old heritage inherited from New Zealand Geological Survey [1865-1990], DSIR Geophysics Division [1951-1990], Institute of Nuclear Sciences [1959-1992], and DSIR Geology and Geophysics [1990-1992].

In 1992, Crown Research Institutes (CRI) were established by the New Zealand Government.

While our registered company name remains the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences Limited, in 2006 we re-branded to become GNS Science.

The scope of the Center for Disaster Management at UMT is to support the public sector, emergency services, industry and communities by providing capacity building, specialized knowledge, skill development and conducting collaborative research in disaster management in order to meet the targets under the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the UNSDGs in order to build a more resilient society.

Center for Disaster Management at UMT is the flagship Center in knowledge and skill development in disaster preparedness, mitigation, and risk management. The Center builds upon the synergy of existing faculties within UMT for research in cross-cutting themes in disaster management, and includes experts in various aspects of disaster policy, management, risk reduction and sustainable development.

The Center is also linked with the School of Governance and Society at UMT and is offering undergraduate program "BS in Disaster Management"; related graduate-level programs in DRR and DRM are also in the planning phase.

The first seeds of the University may be said to have been sown by Sir Sahibzada Abdul Qayyum Khan, who boldly conceived the idea and founded Islamia College - (The Dar-ul-ulum Islamia) in 1913 at the first out-post of civilization, almost at the mouth of the historic Khyber Pass. The founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, who perhaps saw the strategic role of Peshawar in his mind, on April the 12th, 1948, while addressing the students and teachers of the Islamia Collage Peshawar

The University of Peshawar, being a mother Institution of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not only catering for the academic needs of Peshawar but also of the whole province and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). The highly qualified and trained faculty, student friendly and supportive administration, modern curricula, conductive academic environment and excellent infrastructure are the hallmarks of the University. Its role in political, industrial and government leadership is recognized. The University has an over whelming contribution in bringing positive changes in the society.

PEMSEA carries out this mandate through these operating mechanisms:

East Asian Seas (EAS) Congress

Held every three years, the Congress serves as an intellectual melting pot of the various stakeholders, partners and collaborators, and is an opportunity to share knowledge and monitor the progress of the SDS-SEA programmes and projects.

Among the various events of the Congress are a Ministerial Forum and an International Conference. The Ministerial Forum is a venue for providing policy directions and commitments related to SDS-SEA implementation, while the International Conference conducts knowledge exchange activities and discussions targeted at specific sectors' issues, while promoting priority programmes and various mechanisms and encouraging corporateresponsibility the business community.

The main rationale of the School is to help meet the country's management requirements for more advanced and sophisticated industrial and commercial life and government responsibilities as well. PSBA started its Research Arm for Disaster Risk Management (DRM) researches and projects in 2001.

Currently, to fulfill the country's demand for DRM formal education, PSBA-Manila has launched the Master of Business Administration (MBA) specialization in Disaster Risk Management (DRM) program in first semester of Academic Year 2017-2018 being the first Higher Education Institution (HEI) to offer a formal DRM education in the Philippines.

Researches on Disaster Risk in The Philippine School of Business Administration (PSBA) started in 2001, when Dr. Teodoro Santos and Prof. Harry Lorenzo along with Dr. Teodorico Molina approved the proposal of Dr. Tabassam Raza, while taking up his Doctorate in Business Administration, for his dissertation that was focused towards Disaster Risk Management (DRM). The pilot research entitled "Strategic Model: Conceptualization and Implementation of a Total Disaster Risk Management: Cherry Hills Tragedy, Antipolo City", was published on 2002 as a first of its kind of researches on disasters in the Philippines. In 2003, the DRM Unit was founded under the Graduate School Research Center of PSBA where Dr. Raza was appointed Special Associate for the DRM and Information Technology (IT) Researches and Projects for PSBA. From here on, researches on DRM with focus on Business Continuity were done under the name of the School.

Research Achievements and Challenges: In almost 40 years of its existence as a unit under the umbrella of the U.P. College of Engineering and the National Engineering Center, NHRC has developed and served as the national center of water-resources expertise, and provided the support organization and physical facilities for conducting the necessary physical and mathematical modeling research and producing technical output and advice in water resources engineering and management needed by government and the private sector. The outputs and activities of NHRC are in the forms of improved designs and plans of hydraulic structures (developed either by physical or mathematical modeling), engineering application software, technical training and transfer of technology to clients' personnel, technical analysis and advice on particular problems, publications, lectures/seminars/conferences, and consultations and meetings with various concerned sectors in the water resources field.

Research interests includes mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation (CCAM) in policy formulation; Institutional development, urban and rural land-use and development planning; and public infrastructure and housing among others. Essentially, our organization Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPAs) are geared towards disaster risk reduction management thematic areas (i.e., Disaster preparedness, response, rehabilitation and recovery and prevention, and mitigation).

Research and Creative Work: undertake policy research, action research and interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary research or creative work
Knowledge Sharing: disseminate research findings, creative works and innovations

SGSP carries out research in disaster risk reduction, CBRN, rescue, fire protection, civil protection, critical infrastructure protection, internal security, occupational safety and health, crisis management and crisis communication. SGSP representatives serve as experts in NATO, EU as well as national scientific and rescue institutions.

The Institute aims to help the regional and international communities to better understand the characteristics of risks related to natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, typhoons, floods, droughts, as well as non-traditional risks which may include infectious diseases and terrorism.

Through ICRM, NTU faculty and researchers will work on integrated risk assessment and management of natural hazards as well as man-made threats. Such work will be conducted in collaboration with research organisations worldwide in the risk management domain as well as insurers, reinsurers and risk modellers from the finance and (re)insurance industries and associations. ICRM aims to develop Asian catastrophe risk models and to build up industry benchmarks and indices which reflect the uniqueness of Asian catastrophe risks.

ICRM is envisioned to be a key player in Singapore's effort to further strengthen its position as a major international finance hub, especially in the (re)insurance areas. The models and tools developed by ICRM will allow governments, public organisations and the industry to analyse potential losses, and so develop risk-management strategies.

Decision-makers in Asia in particular will be able to utilise such tools to identify vulnerabilities, prepare for a range of possibilities and allocate resources. ICRM will undertake the state-of-the-art multi-disciplinary research work which leads to better understanding, communicating and managing of major disasters, both natural and non-traditional, and thereby provides major positive impacts on the society.

The University moved to Žilina in 1961 and it was renamed the University of Transport, later on the University of Transport and Communications. In 1998, the Military Faculty was renamed the Faculty of Special Engineering of the University of Žilina and the military studies were ended towards the year 2004. All these changes influenced the structure of educational programmes offered by the Faculty. The courses aim mainly at solving natural, ecological, economic, social and other crisis situations, civil security and rescue services.

The Faculty of Security Engineering is oriented towards the managerial and technological studies. The Faculty offers university education in accredited fields of study at all levels, i.e. in Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees as well as in lifelong education.

When disaster strikes, all living creatures naturally react with a fight-or-flight response. But what if you're not strong enough, or have nowhere to run? This is when suffering sets in. Hunger, death, degradation, loss, damage, destruction, desperation. Since 2001, we have the vision to reduce disaster risk - because we can!

At the University of the Free State (UFS) Disaster Management Training and Education Centre for Africa (DiMTEC), we strive towards informing the public about disaster risk reduction through education. Our master's, postgraduate degrees in disaster management, short courses, and research are of the highest quality. The recent addition of a PhD ensures that research towards making a difference continue in various fields.

DiMTEC's first course was approved and registered by the South African Qualifications Authority in 2001, after which we joined the Department of Agricultural Economics in the vision of becoming an independent centre, which came about in 2005.

The education and research at DiMTEC is multi disciplinary with a focus on disaster risk reduction in Africa. We have a footprint in more than 17 African Countries.
