REsilienceLAB

About us

A network of people working on sustainability, adaptation, urban and territorial resilience with different aspects and approaches.

The Association

The REsilienceLAB Association was born on 28 November 2014 from the experience of the RE_LAB network as a tool to more effectively support actions to promote  resilience initiatives on the territories. It shares the aims of the network and broadens its spectrum of action.

Resilience is the ability to manage change by continuing to develop. The term derives from a characteristic of metallic materials that are able to recover their state following deformation, but it also applies to human communities, socio-ecological systems and psychology.
