ISCRAM is a forum where researchers and practitioners from all around the world meet every year to share experiences and raise challenges in all the aspects related to the design, development, and use of information systems to improve the management of crisis and disaster situations. The 19th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management is co-organized by the National School of Engineers of Tarbes and ISCRAM Organisation and it will be held in Tarbes, France on 22-25 May, 2022.
The main thematic of ISCRAM 2022 is:
“The future vision of large-scale CRISIS management in a post COVID world”
The COVID-19 pandemic and its negative economic and social impact have cruelly highlighted the limitations of traditional crisis management mechanisms and practices facing this type of crisis within a human society that is evolving faster than its risk and security management practices. A lot of lessons are learnt, and feedback reports pointed out the lack of suitable plans, proactivity, training, resources, computerized tools, etc. ISCRAM 2022 will focus on shaping the future of large-scale CRISIS Management by studying issues, feedback, and potential solutions addressing more proactivity, accurate prediction, supply chain management, planning, social aspects, communication, cross countries collaboration, etc.
ISCRAM 2022 focus will not be limited to pandemics crisis, but it will promote research and development, exchange of knowledge and deployment of information systems for crisis management, including the social, technical and practical aspects of all information and communication systems used or to be used in all phases of management of different emergencies, disasters and crises.
ISCRAM 2022 is proud to be able to offer conference attendees the opportunity to attend a series of dynamic Keynote Talks presented by experienced researchers and active practitioners with significant expertise in crisis and disaster management.
