From 4 to 8 May, CDR colleagues will be part of EGU 2026 with talks, posters, a PICO presentation and a short course, contributing to discussions and sharing our work throughout the week.
Institutes & CentersCenter for Climate Change and Transformation - Climate and Disaster Risk - News - CDR at EGU 2026: presentations, sessions and contributions
EGU is always a nice occasion to exchange ideas, reconnect with colleagues and discover what others are working on. This year, several CDR researchers will contribute to the programme with presentations and sessions covering different aspects of climate and disaster risk, from high-impact precipitation and drought governance to local climate patterns in complex terrain and forensic approaches to multi-hazard disasters.
Some of these contributions are linked to ongoing collaborative projects, including PARATUS, Cli-DaRe and A-DROP, while others reflect broader research carried out at CDR on climate risk, adaptation and resilience.
Here below is an overview of where to find our colleagues during the week.
