Innovative education and risk prevention centre (Slovakia)

This centre is focusing on disaster management, firefighters and occupational safety and health training. It integrates several possible ways for virtual scenario- based training in different fields of safety. The main focus group are university students of crisis management and emergency services studying programmes. We are providing this type of training also for professional and volunteer firefighters and crisis managers. Secondary target groups are students of high school studying safety programmes to involve them more to continue in studying at university.

The head of this centre is assoc.prof. Katarina Holla, PhD. and the rest of the team consist of doctoral students and teachers from different departments. Technical support and PhD. research is done by PhD. student Samuel Kockar. The management department is the Department of Crisis Management. To raise awareness in this field we would like to involve students of master´s and bachelors level to research partial tasks and to get involved. We will also be doing testing of new developed programmes and scenarios.

We will provide mainly these kinds of scenarios related to mixed reality: first aid, hazardous substances (ADR), exam scene.
