IRDR International Centre of Excellence at Taipei (ICoE- Taipei):
Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) is an international interdisciplinary research program initiated and sponsored by the International Science Council (ISC) in partnership with the United Nations office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR). The first IRDR International Centre of Excellence (IRDR ICoE) was established in Taipei in 2010 at Academia Sinica, and incorporated into the Center for Sustainability Science in 2012. The goal of ICoE-Taipei is 1) promoting integrated research on disaster risk 2) building a research network of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), and 3) sharing practical experiences of disaster early warning and preparation in Taiwan via international training courses, workshops and Advanced Institutes. The center has become an international hub in Southeast Asia for DRR research and developed a mature operation model on interdisciplinary collaborations such as hosting schools and funding regional cross-country research teams. By the end of 2021, the center has organized 15 Als, provided training workshops to over 300 early-career scientists from over 20 countries, and supported trainees' further development with competitive seed grants.
