Study of Processes for the sustainable use of Resources, the mitigation of Hazards and Risks and improving society and territory Resilience the DIN will contribute to the formation of a new, fully interdisciplinary generation of PhD students, enforcing their key competences and their capacity to transfer technological and scientific knowledge. The society will benefit of these studies through three main streams: 1) enhancement of scientific knowledge; 2) technological transfer; 3) communication strategies and techniques. Enhancement of scientific knowledge will produce better understanding of Environmental, Natural and Anthropic Processes, which underpin their related hazard and risks. Technological transfer will produce benefits to the economy, also reducing losses from natural or human-induced disasters or improving the sustainable exploitation of resources. The new communication strategies and techniques will strength the bridge from research to final stakeholders, intended as the general society, Civil Protection officers or public and private companies.
