EMCAP Network
The EMCAP Network advocates for the next generation of natural hazards leaders by supporting and fostering excellence in the science and management of natural hazards.
The Early- and Mid-Career Academic and Practitioners (EMCAP) Network Executive Committee launched at the Natural Hazards Research Forum 2024 in Adelaide on 15 May.
The EMCAP Network will advocate for the next generation of natural hazards leaders by supporting and fostering excellence in the science and management of natural hazards. It will also underpin the long-term development of the Centre and its outcomes, ensuring collaboration with our partners and the community on research that is useful, useable and used to create a safer and more resilient Australia.
The EMCAP Network is led by an Executive Committee made up of EMCAPs to oversee and deliver professional development activities, grow stakeholder connections and strengthen ties between research and practice.
