UNESCO is working together with APAN DMWG (Asia Pacific Advance Network – Disaster Mitigation Working Group) for the Masterclass Session at APAN 44th by sharing case studies and promote collaborations through networked open platform in broader types of disasters and geographical coverage in Asia Pacific. Case studies, numerical simulations, simulation facilities, and practices from UNESCO, Disaster Mitigation Competence Centre of EGI-Engage Project and other regional projects will be presented at the Masterclass. APAN DMWG likes to promote more APAN partners to bring use cases, local user communities and requirements. Team building or consultation will be supported from the scientific groups or technology groups coordinated by the Working Group or UNESCO and other sources. Collaboration model, directions and long-term plan will be also bring forward for discussion in the panel session. We also hope the Masterclass is the leading event of a series of Masterclass in the future at APAN meetings
