Campus total defence – a unified force for Sweden’s preparedness
Campus total defence is a national initiative where Swedish higher education institutions collaborate to strengthen Sweden’s total defence through education, research, and innovation. University West participates together with more than 30 other Swedish universities.

In a time of increasing security challenges, the need for knowledge and expertise in total defence-related subjects is greater than ever. Through Campus total defence, professionals and students gain access to academic education and research that contribute to societal resilience.
Campus total defence brings together academia, government agencies, businesses, and civil society on a common platform to develop and disseminate knowledge in areas such as security protection, crisis preparedness, crisis leadership, energy supply, and logistics. The collaboration aims to effectively strengthen total defence by educating future experts and promoting research that meets societal needs.
Through Campus total defence, a long-term and sustainable structure is created to provide Sweden with the knowledge and expertise required to address both current and future security challenges.
