Collaboration between scientists, business and practitioners in all levels of society is a necessity for us to be able to meet the challenges of natural disasters in an effective manner. Forum for natural disasters (Forum för naturkatastrofer) is in itself an important collaborative activity within CNDS and in this years Forum "Collaboration - for better impact in society", also served as the overarching theme.
