On Monday, 6 October 2025 at 12:30 p.m., the second session of the joint lunchtime talk series organised by the DKKV and its institutional member CEDIM will take place. Entitled ‘Between the private and public world: Post-disaster loss assessment in the government-industry-academia nexus!’, this session will focus on rapid and reliable damage assessment after disasters – and how approaches from science, business and administration can be better combined.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. James Daniell (CEDIM, KIT) has been researching the socio-economic impacts of disasters worldwide for around 20 years. He will show how different approaches from science, business and administration are used for damage assessment – within the framework of CEDIM Forensic Disaster Analyses (FDA) and in collaboration with the World Bank, Risklayer and international insurance companies.
Together with the participants, he would like to discuss how cross-sector analyses can contribute to improving the quality, comparability and usability of disaster data – and what steps are necessary in the future to further develop post-disaster assessments.

We look forward to your participation!
