Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Distinguished Lecture Series (CRIDLS)

The CRIDLS is launched to support invited speakers with relatively short-term visiting periods (normally within 1-2 weeks) who are working closely with the members of RICRI and highly related to the research areas of RICRI. The selected speakers should be an academic who is a member of any national academy and has a good reputation in the field, or a highly regarded engineering practitioner or public figure.

Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Fellowship (CRIF)

The CRIF provides a unique opportunity for professionals, researchers, and academics to visit and collaborate in developing innovative solutions that enhance the resilience of infrastructure systems worldwide. Visitors under this fellowship, with relatively long-term visiting periods (normally 3-6 months), must be in a collaborative nature, focusing on interdisciplinary research projects in the field of climate-resilient infrastructure.

Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Research Scheme (CRIRS)

The CRIRS is designed to support projects that not only advance our understanding of climate-resilient infrastructure, but also translate this knowledge into actionable strategies and technologies. Through these CRIRS projects, the RICRI aims to enhance interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral collaborations, empowering collaborative work towards a resilient and sustainable future in the face of global climate change.
