Centre for preparedness and resilience

Crises, disasters, and conflicts put healthcare logistics to the test. Researchers will investigate how drones can quickly deliver vital supplies to hard-to-reach places. The focus will be on trauma care, where a rapid response is often crucial to survival. The goal is to make healthcare more resilient in the face of the unexpected.

How can we use history to prepare the next generation for future crises? Researchers are investigating how educators can leverage historical experiences to educate children and young adults about crisis preparedness and civil defense. One important aspect is highlighting the challenges surrounding the rights and roles of children in crisis situations.

The project explores how targeted and inclusive communication can increase citizen engagement and resilience against threats to democracy. With a particular focus on young adults and gender issues, the researchers want to understand how different groups in society can be reached in a meaningful way. The goal is to develop communication strategies that strengthen trust in total defense and encourage widespread support for democratic values, even among those who traditionally feel excluded from defense discussions.
