DILAW4E Newsletter - #1, December 2020

Editorial by the Project Coordinator

Dear reader, 

welcome to the first issue of the “Disseminating Disaster Law for Europe” (DILAW4E) Jean Monnet Project Newsletter.

At the time of Covid-19 pandemic, dramatically affecting our societies, DILAW4E timely aims to foster dialogue between academics and practitioners on the legal and policy implications of disaster risk reduction, climate change initiatives and relief activities aimed at providing an effective and efficient support to disasters’ victims and affected communities. The DILAW4E Jean Monnet Project, supported by the EU Commission as part of the Erasmus+ Programme, can indeed support information activities, disseminate knowledge and promote research debate on the crucial implications of disaster law for the European, international and national institutions and to assess its impact on humanitarian activities of relevant stakeholders.

This Newsletter could thus provide readers with the opportunity:

- to provide updated information on disaster law, including recent publications present in books and legal journals, thus representing a hub for anyone with an interest on current legal and policy developments in this area at the universal, European and other regional levels, recent academic publications, forthcoming events, such as conferences and courses;

- to present the activities of the DILAW4E Jean Monnet Project based at the Department of Law, Roma Tre University under the scientific coordination of Prof. Giulio Bartolini (Project Coordinator).

DILAW4E also benefits of a tested network of international and national partner organisations with an outstanding expertise: European universities with a recognized experience on disaster law (Cork and Groningen) and leading international and national stakeholders, namely the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) through its Disaster Law Programme, and the Italian Red Cross. 

The DILAW4E Newsletter can be downloaded at the dedicated website where a subscription service is also available. Please feel free to further distribute it among your colleague. Any feedback is welcomed at giulio.bartolini@uniroma3.it

I hope you enjoy this Newsletter!

Warm regards, 

Giulio Bartolini
