Despite the many difficulties of implementing the project due to external and internal factors, the Rectors, Vice Rectors, Deans and Project Implementers are even opening small student groups treating them partly as βpilotβ courses.
Universities in the Philippines (XU and UC) are planning to open the 1st semester of GeoDRR studies in August 2024 due to formal requirements.
The GeoDRR degree program is a modern and high quality program to train students in forecasting, diagnosis, analysis, action and management of natural disasters.
The GeoDRR program is based on the European education system with ECTS credits 
with the national requirements of 3 Southeast Asian countries.
The GeoDRR program is currently the only study program of its type in Asia.
The GeoDRR degree program responds to the demand of the rapidly developing economies of Southeast Asia for specialists in natural disasters. Natural disasters are having an increasing impact in generating financial losses in countries that are systematically hit by disasters, such as typhoons, floods, earthquakes, landslides, storms and heavy rains.
