ntroduction
Young scientists are a unique group of researchers within the academia world, as they are a constant stream of people that have innovative ideas and research, which can either support or challenge existing ways of thinking about the world around us. However, the majority of young scientists leave academia within three years of their research programme being completed. Consequently, and quite often not, many of these ideas and their research leaves as well, without the exposure they deserve. “The Young Scientists Session (YSS)” is a unique and special occasion that the IDRiM conference provides every year to young scientists as an opportunity to present their innovative research to a wider audience. Since the move to the virtual conference format in 2020/21, the session format has slightly modified to a 7 minute presentation (+ Q&A); with a breakout room discussion.
xpansion of the YSS Format
In conjunction with the ‘Events’ committee, it was decided in early 2022, to expand the YSS format to celebrate the YSS awardees on their achievement, and to give them the ability to present a full research presentation. As such, the first YSS awardees event took place on Tuesday 24th May 2022, with the top three awardees from the 2021 IDRiM conference presenting. In addition, recordings from two of the three presentations have been made available on the IDRiM YouTube channel, for your viewership: Tyanita Puti Marindah Wardhani – “Assessment of Community Concerns after Lombok Earthquakes using Social Media Narratives” Huan Liu – “Modelling Post-disaster Business Recovery: A semi-Markov estimation framework” The event was a great success, we had 16 viewers during the event, which considering it is a new event was roughly inline with the number that was expected. Many thanks to our speakers for both presenting and giving permission for IDRiM to upload these presentations of the society's YouTube channel and website. We have plans to host the next second YSS awardees event in December 2022 to celebrate this year's awardees; details of this event will be made available closer to the date.
IDRiM 2022
For this year's IDRiM conference, we have provisionally 50 presentations (from 11 countries) within the YSS section, this represents a 42.8 per cent increase compared to IDRiM 2021. This demonstrates that the number of young scientists that want to be a part and present at the IDRiM conference is growing. However, there is a noticeable absence of young scientists based in the Americas.

oncluding Remarks
Personally, this is my first IDRiM conference as the chair of the YSS, after being on the YSS committee for the previous conference. As such, I would like to pass on my personal thanks to Prof. Muneta Yokomatsu (IIASA) who has taken charge of the YSS for many years previously. Your leadership of the YSS has extremely valuable and has helped to develop the YSS to what it is today. I know that the YSS has been valuable for many young scientists in the disaster field.

Considering The Resilience Of Disadvantaged Groups To Disasters Session Rationale: As IDRiM Women in Disaster Risk Science and Practice, we will talk about a rather controversial topic that of considering the resilience of disadvantaged groups to disasters. One may raise a number of questions here. How can scientists and practitioners enhance the resilience of disadvantaged groups? How can everyone be engaged in disaster risk management? How can the floor be opened for everyone to actively participate in the decision-making process? During the session, in addition to sharing research findings, facilitators will encourage the participants to share experiences and will facilitate a group discussion on questions such as the above.

Collaboration
Collaborating with University of Twente EO4ALL community We will organize a webinar in November 2022
IDRiM conference
propose priority issues to be considered, communicated with other committees and IDRiM BoD. We just started to list up  a couple of issues: Does IDRiM need  IDRiM Regional branches? Can we find some initiative takers? IDRiM Society should systematically promote further “Implementation Science."   (e.g., set up a special task force.) in the decade 2021-2030 may meet in person,  once every two years,  instead of  every year.  More frequently, we can also have other forms of smaller meetings, seminars, café talks, etc. mainly online or sometime in person.

Future
Considerations
1. We need to increase the number of Committee members and their disciplinary and geographic diversity. At present we have two economists, one geographer, one engineer, and one social psychologist -- we should seek representatives from earth sciences, planning, communications, etc. We should also seek representatives from Europe, Africa, Latin America, and Asia outside of Japan. 2. We made an initial effort to establish a best PhD dissertation award couple of years ago. I apologize for not following through on the initial attempt, but it was difficult because half of the dissertations were in Japanese. We should seek a volunteer to take leadership on this important initiative. It will help us in retaining the brightest young scholars within our organization. Also, we should consider publishing the outstanding dissertation in the IDRiM Book Series.
Aim Activity Prepare a strategic plan for the IDRiM Society for the next decade to address both the unprecedented challenges facing disaster researchers and practitioners as well as the needs of its membership. In the period 15 January to 15 September 2021 the Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) met 9 times and presented a draft final plan at the IDRiM 2021 conference. After the conference the strategic plan was sent out to the IDRiM membership to collect their final feedback which was implemented in 2022. The plan is now ready for endorsement by the IDRiM BoD.
