Between March 2021 and September 2023, Florentin Weiss was a DCNA Young Scientist and was funded for his chemistry doctorate at the University of Innsbruck. After successfully completing his studies, he has now started his career in the chemical industry. In this interview, he tells us, among other things, how he benefited from the Young Scientists program.
Since the beginning of October 2023, DCNA has been leading a new research project funded by the Austrian Climate and Energy Fund: VULKANO aims to determine the extent to which Austrian communities take vulnerable groups into account when drawing up emergency and disaster plans.

The Disaster Research Conference Fachtagung Katastrophenforschung 2023 will take place from September 11th to 12th at the Montanuniversität Leoben. The aim is to bring together science and practice in disaster management in order to be as well prepared as possible for the challenges of preparing for and dealing with disasters. At the symposium, research results and projects will be presented from the application side and possibilities for utilization will be pointed out. Plenty of space and time for networking are also planned.
