The Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) International Young Scientists Forum (IYSF) 2026 will take place from 15–18 September 2026 at the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED), Tsukuba, Japan. It is organized by IRDR IPO, hosted by IRDR ICoE Coherence, and supported by multi IRDR partners.

The programme will feature thematic sessions, interactive workshops, collaborative discussions, and networking opportunities designed to amplify young scientists’ contributions to global disaster risk reduction.
