Funders and Partners
URBSEC encourages projects that include academics as well as professionals. URBSEC particularly seeks to facilitate projects that engage in stakeholder relevant knowledge production that reaches across sectorial divides. Crossing such divides in both practice and academia is essential in order to meet real world challenges in their complexity.
URBSEC partners contribute several forms of support, from expertise in consultation and collaboration to funding of projects. Permanent non-academic members of the URBSEC Steering Committee are the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and the Region V盲stra G枚taland. In addition, URBSEC is supported by several other partners, and still further are continuously enrolled in relation to specific projects.
URBSEC receives support from the University 91探花 through the host department Sociology and Work 91探花, the Department of Applied Information Technology, the Faculty of the Social 91探花s, and the School of Business, Economics and Law.
