Forum Securitatis

Graduate school in Security and Crisis Management

Forum Securitatis is a multidisciplinary graduate school in the field of security in the society and for crisis management. The overall goal is to provide students participating in Forum Securitatis with a broader experience within the fields of security and crisis management, and through a network of relevant contacts. This will increase the job opportunities outside the university upon graduation.

Forum Securitatis is managed by the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) and Linköping University (LiU) and is financed jointly by VINNOVA (The Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems), FOI and LiU. From 2010, Forum Securitatis is integrated as the graduate education organization within the strategic research programme Security Link.
