Collaborate with Us
The Mobiliar Center for Resilience is a platform for researchers at the University of Fribourg who are conducting resilience-related research. As part of this initiative, University of Fribourg researchers can participate in our research programes and request discretionary funds for resilience-related projects. These formats are designed to strengthen networking within the university and with academic and non-academic partners, and to increase the visibility of resilience research within academia and with the Swiss public.
Applications can be submitted by the online form on this website twice a year (e.g. by January 31 and August 31). Following each deadline, the Center's management team will decide on applications promptly.
