Class Civil Protection and Security Seminars

In this course unit seven themes will be presented from the many that are related to civil protection and range from "Civil Protection as a factor of social cohesion and economic development" to "Communication and disasters".

Not applicable

Without prejudice to others on topics that the dynamics of time and processes can justify in future, in the first edition of the course is planned to hold the following seminars, always with one or more guest speakers from renowned specialists, academics, researchers and institutional managers. Moderation will be made by the teacher responsible for the curricular unit or individuality also invited for this purpose.

For each seminar, personalities of recognized merit in theme will be invited. The session continue under the moderation of the responsible UC professor or a guest moderator, with the possibility of questions and answers at the end of the session. Within a maximum period of 10 days after each seminar, each student will present a report, in a “Scientific article” format, with personal assessment and investigation regarding the topic. The “Scientific article” will have a maximum of 8 pages and will be evaluated by the professor. Between three consecutive seminars, there will be a class dedicated to the presentation of reports in the classroom. The assessment will be continuous without resorting to a final exam. Each student will deliver a minimum of 4 reports and the final classification will result from the arithmetic average of the three best classifications obtained in the various reports delivered (80%) and oral presentations (20%).
