Salford led the EURASIA project, a three year research grant to
implement a capacity development programme for Asian and European
Higher Education Institutions undertaking training, teaching and
research into disaster resilient infrastructure
EURASIA was a partnership between 3 European and 2 Sri Lankan
Higher Education Institutes
Funding: EC (Framework), €456,495
Completion Date: 30/04/2009
Web: www.eurasia.buhu.salford.ac.uk
The grant facilitated a split site PhD programme, the introduction of a
virtual research environment, staff exchanges and the development of
an innovative curricular in disaster resilience
Virtual Environment for Built
Environment Researchers (VEBER)
• Collaboration and
communication support
• Information handling and
exchange support
• Project management
support
• Data collection and
dissemination support
• Research training support
