The Consortium “Italian Centre for Risk Reduction (CI3R)” operates on a non-profit basis with the aim of promoting and sustain the research, the technology transfer and training activities in the field of multi-risk reduction, for a more profitable achievement of the objectives pursued by public policies in this field, in accordance with the relevant national, European and international programmes. CI3R benefits from the multi-risk competence and skills of its three founding entities that are all Competence Centres of the Italian Civil Protection Department, operating in different sectors of catastrophic risks. The three founders of the Consortium are a combination of public and private institutions: the EUCENTRE Foundation, a well-known non-profit training and research centre with dedicated sections specialising in disaster risk research; the ReLUIS Consortium, a no-profit inter-university consortium established with the purpose to develop and coordinate research activities in the field of structural and earthquake engineering and seismic risk; and the CIMA Foundation, a non-profit research organization committed to promote the study, scientific research, technological development and higher education in engineering and environmental sciences, within the fields of civil protection, public health and aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems conservation.
