In the last years the society all over the world has been exposed to a number of different forms of disasters, going from earthquake to terrorist attacks, to severe changes in weather pattern, to financial crisis due to disruptive challenges, to infectious epidemics, as the present COVID-19 outbreak, that have demonstrated that no one is exempt from a disaster situation and people everywhere need to be prepared.National and Local Governments, Communities as well as public and private Companies, need to create an in-depth emergency plan not only for managing the immediate consequences of a disaster but also and mainly for ensuring a community recovers and thrives. This requires the establishment of a network of entities with interconnected and interdisciplinary capacities and skills prior to a disaster, that ensures the quick response to the event and manages the recovery process. The reliability and effectiveness of such network depends on a sound and aware coordination. In the last years, due to the increasing crisis situations, the profile of an Emergency Manager has been developed and some kinds of certifications are proposed at national and international level, but not connected with a university curriculum. Often holders of such Certifications get their start by working as police officers, detectives, firefighters, safety technicians, police dispatchers, paramedics, and others who gained strong experience in emergency situations. While an extensive work experience is a fundamental requirement for an Emergency Manager, the actual economic, social and environmental scenario demands for a strong mix of deep knowledge and skills as strong communication, critical thinking, decision-making, interpersonal, and leadership that can be developed only within Master degrees related to law enforcement, public administration, business administration, Engineering and Medicine.Furthermore, since disasters can take a number of different forms, national and local governments and organizations must be ready for tackling any kind of emergency that may incur, that is they must be aware of all possible risks, be able to imagine the worst case scenario and have the capacity to work out a plan for how to deal with it.This means that it is necessary to develop further competencies and skills in order to provide the existing EM profiles with enhanced and additional knowledge, capacities and skills.In these tragic days when Corona-virus started spreading around the world and timely actions were fundamental, two main points have been very clear:- in each country the government adopts its own policy without a coordination with the others, and, - each National Service for Civil Protection uses different approaches, methods and tools preventing a common strategy, even when the national boundaries are not an obstacle for the danger’s spreading.For these reasons many experts have claimed the need to create the profile of a European Professional for the crisis management. Furthermore the volunteers, from any field, have been proved to be the backbone of the concrete assistance to the population.The project intends to contribute to tackle the above mentioned problems by achieving two main objectives:- designing multi-disciplinary curricula for the establishment of two professional profiles with European value: 1) European Crisis Emergency Manager (ECEM) and 2) European Prevention Manager (EPM), and- providing teachers with competencies and skills for designing and implementing a multidisciplinary modular curriculum offering a high degree of flexibility in the study plan establishment.The main activities will be:- identify the existing profiles and programmes for the preparation of emergency manager and analyse the knowledge gaps and skills mismatches;- design multidisciplinary curricula for the creation of the two ECEM and EPM Professionals;- update the existing degrees by introducing new modules;- create new degrees or new tracks in the programmes that best fit with the envisaged ECEM and EPM profiles;- design the modules to be integrated in the curricula of Health/Engineering/Management sectors for providing the students of such degrees with the knowledge and skills needed for implementing a community service in a proper and competent way, also as volunteers, and enhance their active citizenship and civic engagement;- enhance teachers’ competences and knowledge in such fields and in designing multidisciplinary curricula/modules;- implement the new modules/tracks providing such knowledge and skills and organize work experiences;- finalise the process for the professional certification of such competences.Through 6 Intellectual Outputs focused on identification of skills gaps of students and teachers anddevelopment of innovative Learning Outcomes, the organization of 5 Multiplier Events and a teacher-training week, the project directly answers to the innovation aspect of Strategic Partnership Action.
