Our KIOS Research Assistant Professor Dr. Demetrios Eliades was invited to present our work on "Technologies for responding to pathogen contamination emergencies" at the Asian Conference on Disaster Reduction 2024 in Vietnam, under the thematic "Enhancing Flood and Flash Flood Risk Information". During his presentation, he introduced various results from EU projects including the ERC Water-Futures, such as digital twins for emergencies, drone-based technologies for situational awareness, smart sensors, and alternative telecommunication systems, in case of digital breakdowns.
