As the 4TU.Centre for Resilience Engineering, we are committed to making the complex social-technical-environmental systems in societies more resilient.

We are a community of researchers, policymakers, and practitioners who collaboratively develop, apply, and disseminate knowledge, methods, and tools.

We understand resilience as:

 “The ability of a socio-technical-environmental system to sustain, improve and innovate its key functions – through absorbing, reacting to, recovering from, adapting to or reorganizing – in response to chronic stresses, abrupt shocks, and disruptions.”
