R4K – Resources for Knowledge

This Programme links ReSHAPE research to the PRIN Project  Contract no. E61J12000200001 funded by the Italian Ministry for Education, University, and Research (MIUR). 
The PRIN Project is the collective endeavour of research groups working in 7 Italian Universities (Catania, “La Sapienza” Roma, Padova, “S.Anna” Pisa, Siena, Torino, Trento). Piearangelo Isernia, University of Siena, is the Project Leader. 
The Research Group working at the University of Catania and the ReSHAPE Programme aims at increasing scientific knowledge about Italy's relief and aid capabilities, actions and policies to respond to natural and man-made disasters in Europe and the world.
