About Us
The Department of Risk and Disaster Reduction (RDR) is an exciting cross-UCL department, whichc leads research, knowledge, education and humanitarian action. By providing a focus for UCL activities, with its breadth of disciplinary emphasis, promotion of novel multidisciplinary research and translation into practice, the RDR aims to assume a role of leadership both in the UK and internationally. The department is in the Faculty of Mathematics and Physical Sciences (MAPS), but works across all UCL's faculties, spanning natural and social sciences, mathematics and statistics, engineering and development planning, global health, anthropology, the humanities, ethics and laws, and contributes to UCL's Grand Challenges.
Education: The RDR develops leaders and experts in disaster risk reduction research, education, and practice. RDR runs PhD and MRes programmes in risk and disaster reduction, masters programmes in risk, disaster and resilience and risk and disaster science, and an undergraduate programme in global humanitarian studies, all with a diverse and cross-disciplinary international intake. There are currently about 35 PhD students, and an approximate annual intake of 80 masters students and 70 BSc students.
Research: RDR produces world-leading research in disaster risk reduction through a multidisciplinary perspective for the long-term benefit of humanity. The RDR conducts research in disaster risk reduction and resilience, around the themes: What causes risk and disaster? What are the consequences of risk and disasters? and Catalysing change. Our research foci are: Climate change and adaptation; Conflict and migration; Health and social risks; Inclusion and politics; Natural hazards and risks; Warning, resilience and finance; and Educating leaders. The RDR has received substantial research funding (£10 million+) in areas such as gender responsive resilience, hazard and risk uncertainty modelling, digital health, climate and environment, urban resilience, warning, and migration crises.
Knowledge Exchange, Public Policy and Research Impact: The RDR seeks to empower all to break down barriers to global disaster risk reduction knowledge. Knowledge exchange is a core part of the mission of the RDR, which it seeks to fulfil by publishing high-impact reports, engagement with the media and building long-term partnerships. RDR members have joined and led several field missions and have contributed to multidisciplinary reports. These reports have been drawn on extensively by the UK Cabinet Office and other government bodies in advice to ministers. UCL has collaborations with partners including NGOS, governments, the private-sector, and research organisations. UCL RDR runs regular events to engage the public and potential partners in issues relating to risk and disaster reduction and humanitarian action, including its Annual Conference and Monthly Event Series.
