Exploring how scientific knowledge and social intervention can work together to build more resilient, healthier societies better prepared to face extreme events is the central focus of this webinar.</p><h3>Thematic Focus Areas</h3><p>In this context, the discussion will be structured around four main thematic areas:</p><ul><li>The <strong>GLADE network</strong> will address the impacts of extreme events on human health and the need for strategies to promote health throughout life and to strengthen the resilience of health systems.</li><li>The <strong>VISCC network</strong> will focus on the challenges these phenomena pose to urban environments, including risks such as flooding, landslides, and urban heat islands, encouraging the presentation of mitigation and adaptation solutions.</li><li>The <strong>VIQE-ML</strong> network will center on analysing the communicative and discursive dimensions of extreme events, exploring how they are narrated and understood in different social and cultural contexts.</li><li>The<strong> VIPJSI</strong> network will focus on the role of public institutions in disaster prevention, management, and response, highlighting the importance of robust legal frameworks, transparency, and the protection of human rights, particularly in emergency contexts.</li></ul><h3>Call for Contributions</h3><p>PhD students are invited to <a href="https://ls.uc.pt/index.php/838399?lang=en">submit their abstracts</a> for presentation<strong> by 13 April at 11:59 p.m. (CET).</strong></p><p>This is a unique opportunity to share your research, engage in interdisciplinary exchange, and contribute to innovative approaches addressing global challenges.
