Welcome!

The project seeks solutions for societal resilience in Finland, Europe and globally. The covid pandemic, geopolitical tensions and environmental problems have hampered the security of supply of critical sectors such as food production, ICT, and pharmaceuticals in both the Global North and the South. This research aims to analyze the interaction between the regulatory environment and international stakeholder cooperation and its potential to strengthen societal resilience and the security of supply.

The project examines 1) EU trade policies that promote sustainable development, 2) knowledge co-creation of companies in stakeholder collaboration, and 3) the impact of regulation supporting resilience in critical sectors. It is assumed that the creation of new knowledge from the perspectives of different parties supports the development of timely policies in international multi-stakeholder cooperation.

The two-year project will produce new information on the effects of global crises and geopolitical tensions on critical sectors, and how the security of supply can be supported in Finland and internationally. The results will be disseminated through scientific and popular articles, conferences, business seminars and teaching, thereby supporting political and corporate decision-making.
