PDPC
Pandemic and Disaster Preparedness Center
Together, we will reduce risks and build resilience through effective disaster prevention, preparedness, and recovery management.
About
Erasmus MC, TU Delft and Erasmus University Rotterdam have joined forces in the Pandemic and Disaster Preparedness Center (PDPC).
PDPC aims to prepare society for future pandemics and disasters. We will reduce vulnerabilities and risks and build resilience through effective disaster prevention, preparedness and recovery measures. Convergence of the technical, medical and social sciences is essential for developing the next generation of approaches to disasters and pandemics.
In the foreseeable future, our society can expect many more and unforeseen virus outbreaks and extreme events. But how do we protect society from the next pandemic or disaster? Which of the lessons learnt could develop prevention and intervention measures, and how could research contribute to preparedness?
Frontrunner projects
The frontrunner projects are our first official research projects. Top experts from various disciplines work together to develop knowledge about pandemics and disasters and the related social issues.
