Senteret utvikler forskningsbasert kunnskap som styrker samfunnets evne til å håndtere sårbarhet, kriser og beredskap. Vi kombinerer akademisk ekspertise med praktisk erfaring og samarbeider tett med offentlige og private aktører, både nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Våre brukerstyrte prosjekter bygger bro mellom teori og praksis gjennom tverrfaglig samarbeid, partnerskap og aktiv involvering av master- og doktorgradsstudenter.
Forskningsområdene våre omfatter innovasjon og entreprenørskap, organisering og ledelse, teknologi, maritim sikkerhet, helseberedskap, IT-sikkerhet, pedagogikk, samvirke mellom nød- og beredskapsaktører samt pandemiberedskap.
