The Division of Risk Management and Societal Safety performs research and education that aim to develop safer, more resilient and sustainable systems, organisations and societes.

We perform descriptive research focusing on developing knowledge about how people, organisations and society prevent, prepare for, deal with, recover from, and learn and adapt to events that might threaten something of value. We also perform normative research focusing on developing methods, processes and other types of artifacts that can be used to better understand and manage risks, crises and disasters in a range of different contexts.
