The IRIDeS is dedicated to advancing research and understanding in the realm of disaster science. Situated in Japan, IRIDeS plays an important role in disaster prevention, mitigation, and response. As an EAGLE M.Sc. student from Germany, Konstantin Müller has been granted a unique and invaluable opportunity to dive into the work of IRIDeS for a three-month-long internship.
