Strengthening its commitment to international research and academic collaboration, the University of the Cordilleras (UC) hosts the first official Philippine visit of the Digital Transformation for Natural Hazards (DIGIHAZ) consortium from October 19 to 23, 2026, for the Evaluation and Project Management Proposal Workshop. The event aims to strengthen international partnerships in higher education and research while advancing digital innovation for natural hazard preparedness and risk reduction.
As a consortium member, UC contributes to the projectโs goal by offering a Doctor of Information program specializing in Geomatics for Natural Hazards, supporting the development of researchers equipped to address disaster-related challenges through digital innovation.
The event brings together the University of Alicante, Spain; University of West Attica in Greece; Xavier University and UC in the Philippines; and Universiti Sains Malaysia and Universiti Utara Malaysia. Through this partnership, UC advances its commitment to international research collaboration, interdisciplinary learning, and the application of digital technologies to natural hazard preparedness and risk reduction.
The DIGIHAS project is funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ Program.
