Crisis management is crucial, which is why the University of Antwerp, the Antwerp Fire Department, PM. Risk Crisis Change, and the Port of Antwerp-Bruges have decided to join forces and establish the Crisis Governance Chair.

Purpose of the chair

The Crisis Governance Chair aims to create and disseminate knowledge on the broad topic of crisis governance through a holistic, process-based approach. Both researchers and professionals will be supported in how effective crisis governance can contribute to research and practice, both at the strategic and operational levels, enabling adequate development, governance, and adaptation to changing circumstances.

The ambition

The chair aims not only to study how insights from various disciplines challenge existing paradigms and theories, but also to valorize this knowledge for organizations and their members. The chair's ambition is to serve as a center for research and regulation, and to become a reference center for researchers and professionals interested in the multidisciplinary field of crisis governance.
