International Symposium on Crisis Management (ISCM)

ISCM 2011 is organized as part of the “Learning For Security – L4S” EC co-funded research project. L4S has developed and tested technology-enhanced learning applications for developing crisis management competencies.

Recent research shows that effective collaboration dynamics remain at the core of crisis management approach in the transportation sector - and possibly beyond. Empirical evidence highlights the role of resource coordination as the ultimate value adding area in crisis management today, far more important than domain expert knowledge and resources mobilization.
