Resilience in Sweden: Governance, Social Networks and Learning (RISE)

The overall purpose of this project is to contribute to a resilient society through an in-depth and nuanced understanding of the contextual and underlying factors that create, maintain, break down, and undermine resilience.

By developing knowledge about resilience that is specific to Sweden, the project will contribute to increased resilience.

Social resilience in Sweden: Governance, Social Networks and Learning is a collaboration between Mid Sweden University, the Swedish Defense University and Karlstad University.
