LUPREP Research Centre

Lund University’s new centre for total defence

The LUPREP research centre (Lund University Centre for Preparedness and Resilience) is Lund University’s new centre for total defence, bringing together leading expertise on Campus Helsingborg. Its aim is to strengthen education, research and collaboration in total defence and preparedness. The centre hosts several doctoral positions in defence-related research, along with two master’s programmes focused on civil preparedness and security policy.

Lund University has invested a total of SEK 68 million in LUPREP. Through LUPREP, companies gain access to current research, doctoral programmes and education that can be applied in new services, ways of working and solutions that strengthen the resilience of both society and business. Examples of projects include the use of drones in healthcare crisis response, and public communication and awareness campaigns related to defence and preparedness.
