Grant Description

The HEP-DRI Activity aims to utilize Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to enhance the systemic resilience of infrastructure against disaster and climate risks.

The activity aims to strengthen the capacity of stakeholders and foster a higher education ecosystem focused on infrastructure resilience.
