In today’s era of polycrisis, regions must navigate the dual challenge of enhancing resilience to environmental, social, and economic disruptions while steering toward sustainable transformation. The RSA Research Network on Transformative Regional Resilience (T2R) aims to lead the way in advancing research and fostering collaboration on these critical issues. The primary goal of the T2R Network is to deepen understanding of regional resilience from a critical, multidisciplinary perspective, while bridging theory and practice. By bringing together academics, students, policymakers, and other stakeholders, the network seeks to promote collaboration and build a dedicated community committed to advancing knowledge and solutions for regional resilience.

Our kick-off webinar will set the stage by taking stock of the current state of regional resilience research. We will explore key methodologies and insights that have shaped the field, outline ongoing debates, and discuss the open questions that will guide the network’s future efforts. This session will pave the way for continued discussions and initiatives within the T2R community.
