项目摘要

Operational Research (OR) has significant potential to contribute to meeting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and disaster risk management (DRM) objectives of developing countries. However, most ODA countries lack the research capacity to develop and apply relevant OR methodologies.The CREST-OR project is a collaboration between three of the UK's leading universities in the field of OR - Kent, Lancaster, and Southampton - and prominent universities in four Southeast Asian (SEA) countries - Vietnam, Indonesia, Laos, and Cambodia. CREST-OR will establish a long-term UK-SEA partnership to build research capacity in OR methodologies, improve community resilience to natural disasters, and achieve national SDGs and DRM objectives. SEA partners will benefit from advancing their OR research capabilities, and the formation of new institutional links among project partners. UK partners will benefit from increasing knowledge in the application of OR to international development and disaster management challenges. The project will support longstanding initiatives in SEA countries through engagement of policy-makers and practitioners at national and local levels (e.g. emergency response agencies, local authorities, and development NGOs).CREST-OR will build capacity in the use of OR for solving challenges in four focal areas: disaster management, food security, resilient transport infrastructure and smart cities. These areas were identified with the SEA partners based on existing collaborations within the UK researchers and, most importantly, on development priorities of their respective countries. In SEA countries, rapid economic growth and infrastructural development has not been supported by sufficiently robust planning. Social and environmental priorities have been regularly forfeited, while population growth has intensified development challenges. Climate change is now raising disaster risks and threatening to derail development achievements, with the greatest effect felt by the poorest and most vulnerable segments of society. OR offers a powerful set of tools to support more informed, evidence-based decision-making by government agencies and NGOs to address challenges related to disaster risk and its impact on food supplies, infrastructure and cities development. By building OR research capacity in these areas, CREST-OR will contribute to address several UN SDGs: SDG2 (Zero Hunger), SDG9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG13 (Climate Action) and Priority-2 (Strengthening Disaster Risk Governance) of the Sendai Framework.The project will undertake the following capacity building activities:- Capacity assessments to identify educational and research gaps in the knowledge and use of OR methodologies, especially in relation to the SDGs, and understand the policy landscape in which CREST-OR will operate.- Three workshops, including: a Scoping Workshop to develop a prioritised list of relevant research projects, which will form the basis of CREST-OR research agenda; an Academic Workshop with specialised research training sessions for SEA researchers at different career stages; a Final Workshop to share developed research project proposals, receive end-user feedback and plan future research strategy.- Secondment of SEA Early Career Researcher in UK partner universities to develop research proposals, take part in research activites, and receive training in advanced and contextualised OR methods (e.g. simulation, optimisation).- Short visits of UK academics to SEA institutions to consolidate understanding of local context, run short training workshops, and support the development of OR curricula and research units.- Attendance of SEA researchers to the UK OR Society annual conference to facilitate their engagement in international debates and integrate them into a wider research community.- Development of a website for research networking and knowledge exchange.

运筹学（OR）在实现发展中国家的可持续发展目标（SDG）和灾害风险管理（DRM）目标方面具有巨大的潜力。然而，大多数ODA国家缺乏开发和应用相关OR方法的研究能力。CREST-OR项目是英国OR领域的三所领先大学--肯特、兰开斯特和南安普顿--与东南亚四个国家--越南、印度尼西亚、老挝和柬埔寨--的著名大学之间的合作。CREST-OR将建立长期的UK-SEA伙伴关系，以建立OR方法的研究能力，提高社区对自然灾害的抵御能力，并实现国家SDG和DRM目标。SEA合作伙伴将受益于提高他们的OR研究能力，并在项目合作伙伴之间形成新的机构联系。联合王国的合作伙伴将受益于在国际发展和灾害管理挑战中应用OR的知识不断增加。该项目将通过国家和地方各级决策者和从业人员（例如应急机构、地方当局和发展非政府组织）的参与，支持东南亚国家的长期举措，并将建设使用应急资源解决四个重点领域挑战的能力：灾害管理、粮食安全、有复原力的交通基础设施和智能城市。这些领域是根据联合王国研究人员现有的合作，最重要的是根据各自国家的发展优先事项，与SEA合作伙伴确定的。在东南亚国家，快速的经济增长和基础设施发展没有得到足够有力的规划的支持。社会和环境优先事项经常被放弃，而人口增长加剧了发展挑战。气候变化正在增加灾害风险，并有可能使发展成就脱轨，最贫穷和最脆弱的社会阶层受到的影响最大。OR提供了一套强大的工具，以支持政府机构和非政府组织做出更明智、基于证据的决策，以应对与灾害风险及其对粮食供应、基础设施和城市发展的影响有关的挑战。通过在这些领域建立或研究能力，CREST-OR将有助于实现几个联合国可持续发展目标：（零饥饿），SDG 9（工业、创新和基础设施），SDG 11（可持续城市和社区），SDG 13（气候行动）和优先事项2该项目将开展以下能力建设活动：- 能力评估，以确定教育和研究在知识和使用OR方法方面的差距，特别是与SDG有关的差距，并了解CREST-OR将运作的政策环境。三个讲习班，包括：一个范围研讨会，以制定相关研究项目的优先列表，这将构成CREST-OR研究议程的基础;一个学术研讨会，为不同职业阶段的SEA研究人员提供专业的研究培训课程;一个最终研讨会，以分享已开发的研究项目提案，接收最终用户反馈并规划未来的研究策略。在英国合作大学的SEA早期职业研究员的借调，以制定研究计划，参加研究活动，并接受先进和情境化的OR方法（例如模拟，优化）的培训。英国学者对SEA机构的短期访问，以巩固对当地环境的理解，举办短期培训研讨会，并支持OR课程和研究单位的发展。SEA研究人员出席英国或协会年会，以促进他们参与国际辩论，并将其融入更广泛的研究社区。开发一个研究联网和知识交流网站。
