Marie-Chris­tine Ther­rien and research col­lab­o­ra­tors at Cité-ID co-authored a report, launched by the may­or of Lon­don, on strate­gic coor­di­na­tion for the Euro­pean Counter-Ter­ror­ism Pre­pared­ness Network Marie-Christine Therrien and research collaborators at Cité-ID co-authored a report, launched by the mayor of London, on strategic coordination for the European Counter-Terrorism Preparedness Network

Last week, the Counter-Ter­ror­ism Pre­pared­ness Net­work (CTPN) pub­lished four strate­gic reports aim­ing to share the knowl­edge and expe­ri­ence acquired by major Euro­pean cities around pro­tec­tion and pre­pared­ness against ter­ror­ism. The report was launched by the may­or of Lon­don, Sadiq Khan, in the com­pa­ny of net­work part­ners. Pro­fes­sor Marie-Chris­tine Ther­rien and two Cité-ID researchers, Joris Arnaud and Julie-Maude Nor­mandin, con­tributed to the report on strate­gic coor­di­na­tion in the event of a ter­ror­ist attack. The report presents sci­en­tif­ic knowl­edge along with the strate­gic coor­di­na­tion ini­tia­tives of six Euro­pean cities, and offers a num­ber of rec­om­men­da­tions. The report was writ­ten in col­lab­o­ra­tion with four prac­ti­tion­ers spe­cial­ized in resilience and cri­sis man­age­ment: Stockholm’s chief resilience coor­di­na­tor, the chief of pol­i­cy in Stock­holm, as well as a man­ag­er and an employ­ee from the Lon­don Resilience Group.

The Regard Lab­o­ra­to­ry, ded­i­cat­ed to research on local inter­sec­toral net­works, orga­nized a sem­i­nar on Wednes­day, Novem­ber 6, 2019, at Uni­ver­sité de Mon­tréal to explain the pur­pose of the Liv­ing Lab approach to trans­form urban resilience gov­er­nance. This sem­i­nar was pre­sent­ed by Julie-Maude Nor­mandin, Research and Com­mu­ni­ca­tion codi­rec­tor of Cité-ID Liv­ingLab. The aim of this pre­sen­ta­tion was to demys­ti­fy the liv­ing lab approach which tends to spread in more and more areas. Julie-Maude also had the oppor­tu­ni­ty to explain the added val­ue of this approach as well as the sim­i­lar­i­ties and dif­fer­ences between this approach and oth­er co-con­struc­tion approach­es.
