Center for Security, Crisis Management and Emergency Preparedness

Welcome to the Center for Security, Crisis Management, and Emergency Preparedness Leadership

The overarching goal of the center is to develop research-based knowledge on security, crisis management, and emergency preparedness leadership.

To achieve this, the center aims to:

  • Create a collaborative arena for practitioners and researchers from various disciplines, where they can meet and jointly develop research and innovation projects.
  • Maintain a broad orientation with regional, national, and international relevance, ensuring it is perceived as useful and relevant to emergency preparedness stakeholders.
  • Include multiple sectors and disciplines, with a particular focus on the expertise available at the University of South-Eastern Norway.
  • Contribute to an increased understanding of societal vulnerabilities while developing knowledge on prevention and effective crisis management. This will also support innovation and value creation in the private sector.

The center’s research and innovation efforts target a wide range of audiences, including public and private emergency preparedness stakeholders, authorities, organizations within societal security, and businesses engaged in preparedness-related activities.
