Description

Developments in society, technology and the climate over the last few decades have exposed people to unprecedented risks, extending the responsibilities of local public authorities into areas that are as varied as they are complex. Against this backdrop, local authorities, businesses and emergency services involved in emergency planning and crisis management are expressing a growing demand for advanced training.

To this end, the Interuniversity Certificate in Anticipatory and Interdisciplinary Risk and Crisis Management complements the existing training offer with a course involving various partners from the professional and academic worlds, each contributing their expertise.

The course offers a comprehensive approach to the various aspects of anticipation, contingency planning and crisis management, including legal, institutional, communication and organisational aspects.
