Warwick International Security Initiative
The Warwick International Security Initiative (WISI) will bring together existing activity and expertise from across all faculties of the university in the area of securities studies.
This is a project funded by the University to undertake the initial scoping for a new research initiative and possibly a new research centre focussed on International Security. It is a multidisciplinary initiative bringing together researchers from across campus to address research questions in this area. Current research themes include:
- Food Security
- Energy Security and International Relations
- Climate Change and Security
- Organisational Resilience
- Digital Media and Security
- Resilience and Robustness of Complex Adaptive Systems
Other ideas are being explored across campus and we are always interested to hear from academics already working in this area of security research or who think that their work could be applied to security-related research. Please get in touch with Eliza Gaffney in the first instance if you would like to discuss an idea (e dot j dot gaffney at warwick dot ac dot uk or on +44 (0)24 7657 2857, internal 72857)
