How and What Do We Research?
The Center for Security, Crisis Management, and Emergency Preparedness Leadership aims to develop research-based knowledge that strengthens society’s ability to manage vulnerabilities, crises, and preparedness. We combine academic expertise with practical experience and collaborate closely with public and private emergency preparedness stakeholders, authorities, societal security organizations, and businesses, both nationally and internationally.
How Do We Conduct Research?
The center engages in user-driven research projects, ranging from vulnerability analyses to the development of prevention strategies and practical crisis management solutions. We bridge the gap between theory and practice through:
- Collaboration between researchers and practitioners across disciplines.
- Networking and partnerships with academic institutions, emergency preparedness stakeholders, and the business sector.
- Research proposals and participation in national and international R&D&I projects.
- Involving master’s and PhD-level students in our projects.
- Dissemination through seminars, conferences, and public debates.
This interdisciplinary approach ensures that our research is relevant, applicable, and forward-looking.

Our core areas
What can we offer?
We work in an interdisciplinary manner. This means that many branches of science, emergency services and other relevant actors are joining forces to enter into situations that at first glance may look impossible to resolve. The Center can offer independent research-based knowledge at a high internationally recognised scientific level.
