Abstract

AbstractThe University of Belgrade, Faculty of Mining and Geology has been involved in landslide risk reduction activities at the national, regional, and site-specific levels in Serbia for decades. Since 2011 the Faculty has had several activities closely connected with the International Consortium on Landslides, including the International Programme on Landslides Projects 181, 210 and 248, as well as World Centre of Excellency (WCoE) from 2017. In the past decade the Faculty of Mining and Geology was involved in several national, regional and local projects funded by the People of Japan, UNDP and The World Bank on landslide risk reduction in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia. They all closely involved many stakeholders from national to local authorities including Ministries, Local Self Governments, Public Enterprises, Emergency Offices and Civil Protection units. In this report, the activities of WCoE for national and local authorities on landslide risk reduction will be presented.
