ConceptT

he prolonged and worldwide pandemic and cascading risks havetaught us that the conventional approach to disaster risk planning andmanagement is ineffective for the development of sustainable andresilient communities. A worldwide pandemic underscores theimportance of integrating the following key areas: Disaster risk should not be treated in isolation but should be integrated
with health risks, climate change, and environmental risks;
DRR objectives and vision should be integrated with sustainable
development goals to foster a resilient world;
Short-term DRR objectives need to be integrated with a long-term
vision and plans for a resilient society.
Towards a sustainable and resilient society, the GADRI's five-foldobjectives, which include establishing global research networks,
developing research roadmaps and plans, building the capacities ofresearch institutes, sharing information and engaging in collaborative
research, and advocating for organizations, need to be directed toward
the above-mentioned three key areas for integration in research anddevelopment. The 6th GADRI Global Summit aims to systematically
identify the processes, techniques, evidence, challenges andopportunities for achieving the GADRI objectives for a sustainable andresilient society against hazards and working to keep them frombecoming disasters. Program participants will communicate academic
science across scientific disciplines to policymakers and practitioners.

Concept
Sub-themes
1. GADRI Objective - I (global research network) for Sustainable and Resilient Society
Against Disasters (SRSAD)
2. GADRI Objective - II (developing research roadmaps and plans) for SRSAD
3. GADRI Objective - III (building the capacities of research institutes) for SRSAD
4. GADRI Objective - IV (mutual sharing information and engaging in collaborativeresearch) for SRSAD
5. GADRI Objective - V (serve as an advocacy organization ) for SRSAD
6. Big Science for DRR: Large-scale experiment facilities
7. Sustainable DRR: Integrating climate action, SDGs and DRR
8. Inclusive and equitable DRR: Gender and Inclusivity in DRR Policy and Practice
9. COVID 19 recovery and building disaster resiliency
10. Young Scientists Session on Youth and DRR(Note: Sub-themes 6 to 10 will identify the gaps, discuss what we can do/what should bedone and suggest recommendations towards realizing GADRI objectives)

GADRI Committee
GADRI Committees were established to achieve the GADRI’s five objectives statedin the charter.

Objective 1:
NetworkingTo establish a global
research network that
promotes and engages
disaster research.

Objective 2:
S&T Roadmap
To provide a researchroadmap, with plans that
help facilitate theorganization of disaster
research groups.

Chair: Prof. Charles
Scawthorn, PEER, Universityof California, Berkeley, USA

Chair: Prof. Khalid

Objective 3:
Institutional
Capacity Building
To promote capacity building
and development of disaster
research institutes andenhances researcher andstudent exchange.
Chair: Prof. Wei-Sen Li,NCDR, Chinese Taipei

Objective 4:
Data Information
Sharing

Objective 5:
Advocacy

To promote exchange andsharing of data and information
for scientific research across theglobe.

To serve as an advocacy
organization presenting
evidence-based approaches
that influence decision-makingprocesses.

Poster Session
The Sixth Global Summit of GADRI will give an opportunity for participants to participate
in its poster session.
Poster Session :- Indicate institute’s research activities/achievements/implementations in support of
the Sendai Framework Priority Areas.
- Young scientists are also welcome to submit an outline/abstract of the posters along
the lines of the proposed conference themes/panel group discussion sessions.
- The poster should be along the same guidelines of the “Registration for PosterPresentation” below.

GADRI Scholarships for theBest Poster Abstracts
The GADRI Secretariat will award 15 GADRI Scholarships to Best Poster Abstract
submitted for the Poster Session of the 6th Global Summit of GADRI to well-deserving
young scientists up to the age of 35. In awarding the scholarships, while developing
country candidates will be given priority, geographical and gender balance will be taken
into account.
Requirements:
Best Poster Abstract submitted for the Poster Session of the 6th Global Summit of GADRI
to well-deserving young scientists up to the age of 35
Along the ‘general guidelines of the poster presentation’, the abstract should clearly
demonstrate relevance, achievements and contributions to the 6th Global Summit ofGADRI theme and the panel discussion sessions.
Willingness to submit a final paper consisting of a minimum of 4,000-5,000 words to theProceedings of the 6th Global Summit of GADRI.
Applicant’s institute is a member of GADRIApplications should be received by 25th December 2022.
Scholarship entitlements:
Waiver of the Registration fee
Accommodation with breakfast for the duration of 14 to 18 March 2023 in Kyoto, Japan.

Seeds & Needs: Networking Session
This session will provide your institute with opportunities to network and connect
with other institutes, and showcase your institute’s resources; to find potential
partners among GADRI members to collaborate, engage and enhance ongoing or new
research project activities.
For instance:some institutes may have their own methodologies, datasets, experimental
equipment, computer resources, etc., but lack users, application fields, in-situ data forvalidation, etc.
Other institutes may have enough human resources (researchers) but many unsolved
issues and in need of scientific knowledge, experience, experimental and observationequipment, and technological supports and vice versa.
This session will, in particularly, explore research seeds and needs and assist to realize
the effective/active collaboration among GADRI members.
Don't miss this opportunity to find a potential partner for collaboration research
activities.
Requirements:
Please submit 1-page PPT slide (https://gadri.net/6gs/networking_form.pptx) toexplain your “Seeds & Needs” for collaboration; and your expectation from a future
partner within 300 words. See the attached templates.
Please include a short message and your contact details (E-mail,institute/university/center name, etc.)
