Due to the destabilization of social conditions in recent years, many unforeseen circumstances that cannot be dealt with by conventional risk management concepts and methodologies have occurred, and new concepts that go beyond risk management are being sought after.Against this background, resilience is attracting attention as a new concept that turns into risk as "the ability to flexibly respond to unforeseen circumstances and changes in circumstances, maintain and provide the required functions, and recover."

　The "Resilience Research and Education Promotion Consortium" has decided to be established jointly by universities / research institutes and companies in order to respond to this unforeseen situation.Support core activities of world knowledge and education in the field of risk resilience.
Participating organizations include University of Tsukuba, Secom, Dainippon Printing, Nippon Electric, DRI Japan, Electric Power Central Research Institute, Japan Automobile Research Institute, National Institute of Maritime, Port and Aviation Technology, Electronic Navigation Research Institute, Industrial Technology Research Institute, Disaster Prevention Science and Technology Research Institute, Workers' Health and Safety Organization Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute.
These institutions work together to promote cooperation and exchange with the government, and support research and education and its practical application.The consortium will hold seminars, lectures, study groups, symposiums, etc. in the field of risk resilience.

　In addition, the consortium will adopt a new "collaboration graduate school method *" that has never been seen before, and will participate in the bachelor's degree program (equivalent to the conventional major) scheduled to open at the University of Tsukuba on April 2019, 4.Utilizing the knowledge gained from research activities, we aim to develop academic and global human resources by proposing implementation in all processes of the degree program such as entrance examinations, lesson subjects, internships, research guidance, and thesis review, and by cooperating in implementation. ..

* The collaborative graduate school method is a new graduate school that goes beyond the reorganization and integration of national universities to create a new research platform (graduate school establishment form) through collaboration between national university corporations, research and development independent administrative corporations, private companies, etc. method.
