Together with collaborating organizations from many countries and staff with a broad array of specializations, the IRIDeS conducts world-leading research on natural disaster science and disaster mitigation. Based on the lessons from the 2011 Great East Japan (Tohoku) Earthquake and Tsunami disaster, the IRIDeS aims to become a world center for the research/ study of disasters and disaster mitigation, learning from and building upon past lessons in disaster management from Japan and others around the world. Throughout, the IRIDeS should contribute to on- going recovery/reconstruction efforts in areas affected by the 2011 tsunami, conducting action-oriented research and pursuing effective disaster management to build a sustainable and resilient society. The 3rd United Nations World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 will be held on 14-18 March 2015 in Sendai City, one of the areas seriously damaged due to the 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami.
