We are pleased to announce that Prof. Jenny Pange, PhD, from the University of Ioannina, has been accepted as a Keynote Speaker (KN-18) at the HSSS 2025 Conference, taking place on 08–11 October 2025 in Tripoli, Greece.
Her keynote address, “Emergency Management and Higher Education Practices”, will highlight the challenges that crises—ranging from natural hazards and pandemics to conflicts and technological disruptions—pose to higher education systems worldwide. Drawing on the framework of the Erasmus+ Disaster Resilient Universities (DRU) Project, Prof. Pange will present strategies to strengthen institutional resilience through preparedness, crisis communication, leadership, governance, and community partnerships.
This recognition not only highlights the academic impact of the DRU Project but also underscores its role in shaping sustainable, adaptive, and inclusive higher education practices that can respond to the crises of the 21st century.
