ISCRAM is the acronym for Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management, and has been first used for the first international ISCRAM Workshop in Brussels in 2004. Since 2004, the ISCRAM Community expanded into a globally active community of researchers, academics, practitioners, policy makers with an interest in this new area.  In 2009, the ISCRAM Association was formally established as a non-profit association in Belgium. ISCRAM stands for high quality international conferences in the field of information technologies for crisis management.
