From October 22nd to 24th, the Integrated Research on Disaster Risk 2024 International Conference was successfully convened in Beijing, China. Jointly organized by the International Science Council (ISC), the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), and the Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR), this conference witnessed the participation of many academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the Royal Academy of Engineering in the UK in the conference reports and discussions. IDMR's high- end foreign professor Rajib Shaw participated as an IRDR Fellow.

Centering around the global risk science research framework launched at the 2nd ISC General Assembly, officially titled "A Framework for Global Science in Support of Risk - informed Sustainable Development and Planetary Health", the conference aimed to strengthen global risk science and knowledge to address the dynamic risk landscape. The research framework identified nine broad research priorities. These priorities recognize that understanding the nature and characteristics of risk, and how science can drive policy change, remain crucial challenges for the scientific community. Associate Professor Tian Bingwei from IDMR was invited to participate and introduced IDMR's long - term initiatives and continuous innovative practices in disaster education during the expert panel discussion on "Disaster Education".

In the panel discussion, Associate Professor Tian Bingwei shared with experts from around the world several innovative initiatives of IDMR in disaster education. Firstly, he introduced the "experiment - based disaster education" developed by IDMR. Through simulating disaster scenarios and hands - on experiments, students can learn how to respond correctly in emergency situations as if they were on the scene. Moreover, he presented a community disaster education project in cooperation with local governments. Through regular drills and training, the disaster response capabilities of community residents have been enhanced. He emphasized that disaster education is not only about imparting knowledge, but more importantly, about cultivating students' risk awareness and practical response abilities, truly achieving "effective teaching and effective learning". Through these innovative practices, IDMR aims to cultivate more professionals with disaster risk knowledge and response skills for society.

The experts present showed a strong interest in the introduction by Associate Professor Tian Bingwei and had extensive discussions on the future development direction of disaster education. Through this conference, the efforts of IDMR in the field of disaster education have gradually been recognized by the international community, laying a solid foundation for future international cooperation.
