University of Canterbury, Christchurch

The Resilient Organisations Programme has hosted the 3rd Societal Planning Forum at the University of Canterbury on the 20th of February 2007.

Following the successful experience of the two previous Forums hosted by GNS, the 3rd Societal Planning Forum has been an opportunity to take-stock of research going on throughout New Zealand in this area, and to promote greater collaboration and co-ordination across the research programmes.

As you can see from the programme below, the great deal of multi-disciplinary research going on in this area has been presented and discussed during the 3rd Societal Planning Forum.
