8th International Disaster and Risk Conference (IDRC2025)

Taking place from 23 to 24 October 2025 in Nicosia, Cyprus, at the University of Cyprus. Organised in collaboration with the Global Risk Forum (GRF) Davos, IDRC2025 will bring together leading voices in disaster risk reduction and resilience from around the world.

This year’s theme, “Reframing Disaster and Risk: Mobilising Action,” focuses on translating knowledge into impact. Over three days, the conference will welcome researchers, policymakers, government officials, humanitarian actors, and private sector innovators to exchange ideas, present applied solutions, and build new partnerships that address today’s complex and interconnected risk landscape.

The event will feature high-level keynote speeches, expert panels, applied research presentations, and hands-on workshops, offering both strategic insight and practical tools for advancing resilience. From urban planning and climate adaptation to public health and emergency response, IDRC2025 promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and systemic thinking.

By hosting IDRC2025, CYENS reinforces its commitment to supporting innovation and informed decision-making in areas critical to the future wellbeing of societies. The conference serves as a vital platform for shaping actionable policies and inclusive frameworks for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
