Assignment

Among your tasks will be to support a project related to High Impact, low probability disasters as well as to Urban Disaster Resilience in the Middle East. In addition, the incumbent will work on topics related to the strengthening of disaster preparedness in Germany. Topics of the internship will vary and can be discussed, also according to the incumbents’ thematic interests.
