PDPC and convergence
The Pandemic and Disaster Preparedness Center (PDPC) aims to prepare society for future disasters and pandemics. Through effective disaster prevention, preparedness, and recovery measures, we will reduce vulnerabilities and risks while increasing resilience. For this, the convergence of technical, medical, and social sciences is essential.
In the Convergence, TU Delft, Erasmus MC, and Erasmus University Rotterdam join forces, looking beyond the boundaries of institutions and disciplines to arrive at new perspectives and solutions for the urgent and complex societal challenges of our time. The urgent and complex societal challenges of our time call for convergence; the crossing of boundaries between institutes and disciplines to create new perspectives and solutions. For this reason, TU Delft, Erasmus MC and Erasmus University Rotterdam are joining forces in the Convergence. Read more about Convergence here.
