As a reminder, the aim of these postdoctoral internships is to develop or enhance the most up-to-date knowledge on flood risks. The joint RIISQ-Ouranos call for proposals thus aims to contribute to better risk management and to a reduction in the consequences of flood hazards according to the resilience factors of organizations, communities and individuals, thanks to a better spatialization of theoretical and practical knowledge.
