SUMMARY

The Center for Resilience is an interdisciplinary research center dedicated to improving the resilience of industrial systems and the environments in which they operate. In a nutshell, we believe that short-term risk management and long-term sustainability are two ends of the enterprise resilience continuum.

Center for Resilience projects address topics of general importance to our sponsoring organizations, including corporations and government agencies. The work products, including tools and publications, are disseminated broadly. In addition, we perform contract research on a confidential basis.

GOALS

The Center for Resilience is an interdisciplinary research center dedicated to improving the resilience of industrial systems and the environments in which they operate.

To pursue our mission, we have joined forces with a powerful network of engineers, scientists, and business scholars at The Ohio State University and collaborating institutions, leveraging over $20 million in ongoing research programs. For in-depth information about OSU’s broad range of resources, please visit the Institute for Energy and Environment.
