Risks in the Northern Mediterranean Zone
This program aims to position the Université Côte d’Azur internationally in terms of research on the analysis and prevention of both natural and anthropogenic risks by examining the pilot site of the northern Mediterranean region, especially its littoral zone. The choice of this area will help the program take account of and enumerate the multiple and various risks present in this region as well as consider its demographic and socio-economic features.
Program objectives:
- Make the Côte d’Azur a laboratory to analyze natural and anthropogenic risks by associating high-level fundamental research and applied research on the region (exemplary topic for possible connection with a UCA Reference Center or Academy of Excellence). Promote the transfer of these analyses between this pilot site and other areas at risk.
- Interconnect the topic of risk with that of the smart city.
- Include human behavior.
- Integrate a measure of expertise and advice (risk management, decision aid, recommendations for new regulations, etc.) into the research.
- Establish a new training program on risk.
- Capitalize on the experience and knowledge already acquired in terms of educational transfer and provide this educational mission a new, multidisciplinary dimension.
