Mission & Goals
Engaged with clients in Europe, South Asia, and the Middle East, working on UN, EU, and World Bank-funded projects at advisory, technical supervisory, and training/capacity-building levels. The scope of the involved thematic areas covers critical infrastructure climate resilience, complex systems, humanitarian design, decision analysis and preference elicitation, urban disaster risk management, transport asset management, sustainable construction, hazard and climate change risk assessment, and climate innovation for adaptation. The goal is to contribute to increasing the resilience of critical infrastructures and sociotechnical systems against climate change and natural or sociocultural hazards through publications and serving at Commission expert groups.
