Academic Networks: Infrastructure Resilience Academic Exchange
Implementing Partner: Build Change
Project name:Academic Networks: Infrastructure Resilience Academic Exchange
CDRI’s research highlights that higher learning in infrastructure often focuses on sector-specific and asset-level resilience. However, climate and disaster resilient infrastructure demands an integrative, multi-disciplinary approach.
IRAX, through its network modality (IRAX-UC), fosters a global academic ecosystem, promoting structured collaborations.
By encouraging students and professionals to engage beyond their disciplines, IRAX cultivates a holistic understanding of resilience, strengthening innovation, policy integration, and knowledge sharing for sustainable, disaster ready infrastructure solutions worldwide.
