The research projects KoViK, NORMALISE and SiKoMi were presented and discussed in two papers at the conference "Northern European Emergency and Disaster Studies" (NEEDS) in Copenhagen.

Dr. Patricia Schütte, Malte Schönefeld and Yannic Schulte traveled to the University of Copenhagen from 01 to 03 November 2022 to exchange with scientists from all over the world about challenges for civil protection during COVID-19 and also regarding climate change. In the panel on "Crisis Governance: advancing our knowledge to deal with future contingencies", Malte Schönefeld focused on organizational logics of local governments. Dr. Patricia Schütte and Yannic Schulte presented theoretical approaches to crisis management of local administrations, including during pandemics, based on findings from the SiKoMi research project. With both contributions, it was possible to find links to other presentations and studies by Scandinavian scientists and to establish new contacts.
