Name of the graduate-level sustainability-focused minor, concentration or certificate (3rd program):
A brief description of the graduate minor, concentration or certificate (3rd program):
This graduate-level microprogram put the emphasis on the definition, analysis and management of technological risks, and resilience engineering. It aims to give participants a capacity for a global and systemic approach to the challenges of risk management, to identify and study the risk generators as well as their consequences on the socio-economic environment. It will allow participants to familiarize themselves with all the aspects of resilience engineering including, among others, emergency measures and operational continuity. In addition, this microprogram allows you to become an affiliate member of the Business Continuity Institute* (BCI), which is a first step in a certification process with this organization.
