Training Regions
Promoting safety, security and sustainability of cities and regions
Training Regions is a public-private partnership to promote safety, security and sustainability of cities and regions. It is a triple helix formation in which private companies, governmental authorities and universities collaborate for reaching the objectives of their respective sphere. Its focus is on Training, in its widest sense, including all types of activities (e.g. advice, education, training, exercise etc) supporting the development of capacities of cities and regions to protect the well-being of their citizens and to maintain societal functions, by ensuring effective and efficient flows of information, goods and services, regardless of disturbance or disruption, now and in the future.
Training Regions has two mutually supporting parts:
1. A neutral arena for safety, security and sustainability of cities and regions
A neutral arena for collaboration between governmental authorities on various administrative levels, private companies of different sizes and sectors, and universities and research institutions.
2. Research and innovation for safety, security and sustainability of cities and regions
An independent transdisciplinary centre for research and innovation supporting the arena and the wider world with new research based knowledge, processes, methods and tools, as well as with support to apply these outputs in practice.
Training Regions is a membership organisation accommodating members from different countries and spheres of society, operating under different laws and regulations. In order to accommodate such diversity, Training Regions is structured as a not-for-profit membership organisation, suitable for private companies and others that legally can be part of such organisation, and a research centre hosted by Lund University, suitable for other universities, governmental authorities and others that cannot. All members have access to the arena and to the centre for research and innovation.
The founding members of Training Regions are Region Skåne, Saab AB, IF Skadeförsäkringar AB, E.ON Sweden AB, Swedish Armed Forces and Lund University. For more information about Training Regions, please visit www.trainingregions.com
