Mobiliar Center for Resilience

The Mobiliar Center for Resilience at the University of Fribourg focuses on key issues relating to the sustainability of society and the economy. It supports inter- and transdisciplinary research projects that develop practical solutions to strengthen resilience in Switzerland. To this end, the center brings together the skills of researchers from a variety of disciplines.  

Economic and technological change, social and political upheaval and ecological challenges all call for flexible, sustainable solutions. Resilience is therefore a prerequisite for a viable society and economy. It can only be strengthened through collaboration between society, business and science. This is why the center adopts a resolutely interdisciplinary approach. 

Resilience in society and the economy 

Fribourg's full-service university enables a global approach. The Mobiliar Center for Resilience brings together expertise from a wide range of disciplines. In the current funding period (2024-2026), research projects focus on four themes: 

1. Forms of civic engagement, social cohesion and the sustainable economy
2. Legal framework, political structures and pedagogical knowledge on managing linguistic and cultural diversity 
3. Sustainable development with a focus on Switzerland's competitiveness  
4. Switzerland's digital reputation in the age of artificial intelligence
