This information platform is a central work package of the project Vulnerability, Preparedness and Resilience in Crises – Data Infrastructures for the research of societal crisis phenomena.
The project is part of KonsortSWD – NFDI4Society, the consortium for the social, behavioural, educational and economic sciences within the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). It is based at the Institute of Sociology at Freie Universität Berlin and the WZB Social Science Research Center Berlin. The project is accompanied by a working group of the German Data Forum (RatSWD) and supported by a heterogeneous group of experts from science and practice.
Further activities of the project are the identification of needs for social science knowledge and data collection in civil protection (in co-operation with the Federal Office for Civil Protection), the inclusion of crisis and disaster-related issues in long-term surveys and the interlinking of crisis research, civil protection and disaster management and institutions of the social science data infrastructure.
The project was launched in December 2023 and currently runs until September 2025.
