Summer School

The CONRIS network organisation an annual summer school with a specialist theme, to allow lecturers, professionals and students in the area of security and risk prevention to come together.

The summer school aims to analyse new phenomena in our area of knowledge and establish common ground among the different working cultures of the universities who make up the network.

The CONRIS summer school encourages students to carry out multidisciplinary and multicultural projects with the aim of finding practical solutions to practical cases. These are some example of previous editions:
