Call for Paper: Aceh International Workshop and Expo on Sustainable Tsunami Disaster Recovery (AIWEST-DR) 2018
The Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education encourages researchers, academia, disaster practitioners and managers to be involved in remarkable international workshop organized by Tsunami and Disaster Mitigation Research Center (TDMRC), Syiah Kuala University. This international workshop will be held in Banda Aceh which is the most devastated city after 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.
AIWEST-DR was firstly launched in 2005 as part of Syiah Kuala University contribution to ensure the messages from the 2004 tsunami pass across the regions and become lessons learned for other tsunami prone countries. It was first named as Annual International Workshop and Expo on Sumatra Tsunami Disaster Recovery during the first ninth consecutive events.
Since 2016, the name of this event has been refined into a new name with the same abbreviation: Aceh International Workshop and Expo on Sustainable Tsunami Disaster Recovery. We want to ensure the Sendai Frameworks for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR), released in Sendai-Japan in 2005, be resonant in the mind of disaster researchers, practitioners, and policy makers. Therefore, we invite researchers, academia, disaster practitioners and managers to submit their extended abstracts to the 11th AIWEST-DR 2018.
