Abstract

ANDROID (“Academic Network for Disaster Resilience to Optimise Educational Development”, 2011-2014), is an EU Erasmus project aiming to promote cooperation among European Higher Education to increase society’s resilience to disasters of human and natural origin. The ANDROID Work Package 7 (Research Futures) had the following main goals: to explore aspects of European and global relevance to developing societal resilience to disasters; to identify future research directions in disaster resilience research, and the implications for higher education; to create Special Interest Groups (SIGs), addressing emerging research and teaching concerns. In ANDROID, Venice and its territory was selected as an emblematic case study addressing hazard, vulnerability, resilience, and mitigation, providing a general overview of the state of the art, looking into open questions and future research needs, following a holistic approach to risk assessment.
