Why this conference?

The goal of this conference is two-fold:

Firstly, we want to stimulate research on crisis detection. In many sectors and (policy) organizations, there is a desire to be able to detect and understand potential crises and their signals earlier, so that appropriate actions can be taken. All too often, it turns out – in hindsight – that organizations have missed important signals, allowing a crisis to surprise the organization (and its surroundings). On this day, we will present the research project that we will be working on in the coming years.

Secondly, we want to give the crisis community a positive boost by bringing together crisis researchers and practitioners from the crisis field. Fellow researchers will be able to present their work, and we ask practitioners to share how they try to anticipate crises within their organizations.

We look forward to seeing you!
