Following the successful first edition and the strong interest from representatives of the business community, public sector, and expert community, the Resilience Academy is launching its second edition.
The programme is implemented in partnership between the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, the Crisis Management and Disaster Response Centre of Excellence (CMDR COE) – NATO’s multinational training centre in Bulgaria, and the Sustainability Specialists Association (SSA), with the special participation of the Bulgarian Antarctic Institute and Rescue Club for the Future (RCF).
In the face of increasingly frequent climate, geopolitical, technological, and economic challenges, organizations need leaders and experts who can not only respond to crises but also build resilience, adaptability, and readiness to act before crises occur. That is why the Resilience Academy offers practice-oriented training that combines knowledge in risk management, corporate resilience, climate adaptation, and crisis management.
The second edition builds on the programme’s successful start, featuring updated content, leading lecturers, and practical case studies based on real-life crisis situations. Participants will gain knowledge and practical tools that they can apply when developing risk management strategies, business continuity plans, and approaches to strengthening organizational resilience and adaptability.

In a world where resilience is becoming a strategic advantage, investing in knowledge is an investment in the security and future of every organization. The Resilience Academy provides an opportunity to be prepared not only to manage crises but also to build organizations that can successfully adapt, recover, and grow in an environment of constant change.
