Registration is now open for the 2022 Researchers Meeting hosted by the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder. This  virtual event will bring together hazards and disasters scholars from around the world July 13-14, 2022.  

Our program this year focuses on the theme of Back to the Field? Hazards and Disaster Research Following the Pandemic. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, hazards and disaster researchers relied heavily on fieldwork to collect data. COVID-19 brought these and many other forms of field research to a dramatic halt. Yet members of the research community persevered.

The 2022 Researchers Meeting will take stock of the research that has been conducted under these conditions, as well as what we've learned during this time of disruption, reflection, and change. See the full schedule for a list of the exciting plenary and thematic sessions, trainings, and other events. 

The Researchers Meeting is organized by the International Sociological Association Research Committee on Disasters (ISA-RC39) with the support of the Natural Hazards Center and the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) CONVERGE facility at the University of Colorado Boulder.
