4Tu-Centre For Resilience Engineering
Netherlands
A changing climate and growing population in a world that is more and more interconnected, make societies vulnerable to incidents, disasters and prolonged stress. 4TU Resilience Engineering Centre combines craft, knowledge and expertise from scientists and engineers in different fields to tackle the grand challenges of today and tomorrow in building resilient societies.The purpose of the 4TU RE Centre is to bring about and facilitate a Resilience Engineering movement. The 4TU RE Centre is a place where experts from different fields meet, exchange knowledge and ideas, learn together and from each other. By bringing scientist from the four technical universities in the Netherlands together (Technical University Delft, Technical University Eindhoven, University of Twente, Wagening University & Research), the centre aims at building the capacity to be a leading international knowledge centre. 4TU RE deliberately builds connections with societal institutions outside of academia. Working together with people in the field warrants the practical relevance of the research programmes and helps disseminate the insights gained.The Strategic Advisory Board provides strategic advice on the positioning and direction of the Centre; helps to create awareness for the domain of resilience engineering; supports the building of strong partnerships; members act as Ambassadors for the 4TU RE Centre.
