Preparedness and resilience
Multidisciplinary research supporting resilience and preparedness
The Preparedness and Resilience Research Platform (PREP) is an open, multidisciplinary research environment at the University of Vaasa. The platform will enhance research on economic and societal resilience, as well as comprehensive security and preparedness.
Research themes
Geopolitical tensions, a changing security environment, and growing uncertainties are posing challenges to economies and societies. The research conducted within the platform helps to address these challenges and provides science-based information and insights to support decision-making.
The research includes a wide range of topics related to resilience and preparedness, as well as their intersections.
Kuva
The platform receives support for the development of research and operations from a multidisciplinary Advisory Board, which brings together influential representatives from business and society.
