Prevention and Integral Safety and Security
In 1998 the studies in Risk Prevention and Occupational Safety of the UAB started as the first in its field in Spain with the task of professionalising a sector which until that time offered no university-level training.
In the last years the centre is working towards greater internationalisation by participating in European networks to promote its consolidation and a more continental approach to prevention and security.
Conris Network
Through these studies the UAB has become the first university in the south of Europe to enter the prestigious CONRIS (Cooperation Network for Risk, Safety and Security) university network with accredited Bachelor’s degree programmes, with the objective of making studies in risk prevention and security more visible on a European level. Currently the network is generating common knowledge exchange programmes, and is carrying out collaboration projects in the field of innovation in security and risk prevention.
Member institutions have also signed mobility agreements, facilitating exchanges for researchers and students to participate in international weeks or events such as the Summer School.
Mobility agreements and programmes
Students have the opportunity to do exchanges and/or work placements on an international scale in educational institutions for risk preventions and security, through the Erasmus+ programmes and the UAB Exchange Programme, facilitating academic exchange and international mobility. The number of countries and universities that participate in the programme is growing every year, based on the specialisation of each centre and its potential to enrich the training in each of the different specialist areas.
