Research Specification

Approach

Based on the evaluation of acceptable consequences, the Centre risque & performance (CRP) uses a preventive approach that allows the consideration of all possible risks, whether technological, natural or human. It allows the study and the systematic integration of domino effects on the basic premise that all entities or organizations in a single socio-economic environment are interdependent at different degrees, in terms of technical, financial, human, natural and legal constraints.

Objectives

- Develop a methodology of interdependency evaluation and modeling;
- Create operational planning tools of emergency measures (knowledge database, early warning system, dependency and consequence curves);
- Develop a methodology that will evaluate organizational resiliency;
- Validate and integrate the CRP tools into day-to-day professional activities of network administrators;
- Train highly qualified personnel in the risk management and analysis field, in organizational resiliency and interdependency evaluation.

Program

1- R esearch and Development

- Coordinate the application of the CRP methodology and tools to the analysis of the resiliency of governmental systems.

2- training

- The program is open to graduate students and aims to develop leading-edge expertise in emergency management, resiliency and business continuity.
