The Co-Creative Improved Understanding and Awareness of Multi-Hazard Risks for Disaster Resilient Society (C2IMPRESS) project is approaching the end. implementation. This EU-funded 36-month project will be closed at the end of September of this year. As a closing activity, with the collaboration of another EU project, MEDiate, the consortium has arranged an hour long webinar titled “Integrated Approaches to Risk, Resilience, and Preparedness: Insights from C2IMPRESS & MEDiate Projects” on 29 September, 2025 at 2pm (CEST). Dr Tamanna Khan, COO at Technovative Solutions Ltd (TVS) and Communications & Dissemination Manager of C2IMPRESS, will moderate the webinar. She will deliver an introductory speech to the audience.
The key figures from the projects will showcase the tools for disaster preparedness developed by them at the event. The participants will have the opportunity to briefly learn about the projects. Dr Mohammad Azizur Rahman, Director at TVS and Technical Manager of C2IMPRESS, will take on a session on “C2IMPRESS Project: Tools and Methodologies for a Multi-Hazard Disaster Resilient Society”. Dr. Abdelghani Meslem, Principal Research Engineer at NORSAR and Project Coordinator of MEDiate will talk on “MEDiate Project: Tools and Methodologies for Multi-hazard and Risk-informed System“.
The C2IMPRESS project is ready to provide a better understanding and public awareness of multi-hazard risks and the associated multidimensional impacts, vulnerabilities and resilience of extreme weather events, including their origins and the aftermath. Following a Public-Private-Civic Partnership (PPCP) model and leveraging the recent technologies, the C2IMPRESS project has developed an effective ecosystem to mitigate the hazard-induced disasters. Within the project, six major tools have been developed, which are the Citizen Engagement Tool, Decision Support System, Multi-Hazard App, System-of-Systems ESDI Platform, Database, and Knowledge Graph.
TVS led two work packages of the project, which are Platform for decision making for a disaster resilience society (WP4) and Dissemination, Communication, and Exploitation (WP8). TVS has developed an EU-centralised database and articulation of legacy databases, the Disaster Monitoring Portal (DOMP) integrated with SoS4MHRIN, and the C2IMPRESS decision support platform. The plan for dissemination and exploitation of results, project promotion activities, and improvement and deployment of a dedicated multi-lingual ICT-mediated Citizen Engagement Platform (CEP) was also conducted by TVS.
By being a part of the webinar, the attendees will be enriched with more information about the C2IMPRESS, as well as the MEDiate project.

About C2IMPRESS
C2IMPRESS (Co-creative improved understanding and awareness of multi-hazard risks for disaster-resilient society) project is funded by the Horizon Europe Framework Programme (HORIZON) Research and Innovation Actions and kicked off in October 2022. The C2IMPRESS project aims to offer an integrated solution to provide appropriate fine-grained spatio-temporal qualitative and quantitative data, locally appropriate solutions, and better prediction with lower uncertainty on risks of single or multiple hazards stemming from extreme weather events like floods, wildfires etc., under different climate change scenarios. The C2IMPRESS project will provide a better understanding and public awareness of multi-hazard risks, the associated multidimensional impacts, vulnerabilities and resilience of extreme weather events, including their origins and the aftermath. The project has built its consortium with 16 European and international partners from cross-cutting disciplines and technological backgrounds.
About MEDiate Project
Climate change is acting all over the world, in different ways, often causing damage to structures, populations and the environment. MEDiate aims to develop a decision support system (DSS) for disaster risk management by considering multiple interacting natural hazards and cascading impacts using a novel resilient-informed, service-oriented and people-centred approach that accounts for forecasted modification in the hazard and exposure. This risk-informed DSS will be delivered as a user-friendly IT system, allowing end users to model and visualise potential disaster scenarios and understand how potential physical and social actions will influence the scenarios and their communities’ resilience to current and future natural hazards.
The C2IMPRESS and the MEDiate projects have received funding from the Horizon Europe Framework Programme (HORIZON) Research and Innovation Actions under grant agreement no. respectively 101074004 and 101074075.
