Centre for Integrated Emergency Management (CIEM) is a multidisciplinary research centre at the University of Agder, Norway.
The centre conducts research on how technology innovation can improve emergency preparedness and management.
Bringing together researchers within information systems, computer science and social science, the centre explores how to effectively collect and integrate information from different sources to support decision-making in different stages of an emergency.
CIEM’s aim is to contribute to societal resilience, by providing emergency stakeholders with improved technology and method support for secure and efficient operations.
CIEM focuses on global, national and local research challenges, and has extensive collaboration with public agencies, volunteer emergency responders, industry, and research groups in Norway and internationally.
CIEM is active as coordinator and partner in several research projects funded by the European Union and national funding agencies, involving research in areas such as cybersecurity, community resilience, situational awareness, social media analytics, humanitarian logistics, augmented reality and sensor technologies.
Cybersecurity
Developing organizations’ capabilities to identify and handle hybrid threats and cyberattacks. Training and exercises in cyber preparedness.
Information Sharing and Collaboration among Emergency Responders
Procedures and tools for collecting and sharing information to support common situational awareness, decision-making, and learning in joint operations.
Societal Resilience
Contributing to strengthening resilience in society through comprehensive risk and vulnerability analysis, effective crisis communication, involvement of volunteers, and inclusion of vulnerable groups.
Technological Support for Humanitarian Aid
Supporting cross-sectoral and sustainable humanitarian efforts. Research topics include logistics, supply chains, and the use of blockchain technology.
Technological Support for Emergency Management
Use of drones, robotics, and sensors for data collection and communication, and as support for emergency personnel in demanding operations.
