Funding sources
SKOK participates in two on-going projects; one funded by the Research Council of Norway (RCN) and one by UiB:
- The RCN works to promote research and innovation of high quality and relevance and to generate knowledge in priority areas to enable Norway to deal with key challenges to society and the business sector.
- Global Challenges is one of the University’s three strategic areas. This builds on a long tradition of promoting excellent research and education in development-related research. This type of research has been of major societal importance, and has brought a critical scientific perspective to discussions of different global challenges in different arenas locally, nationally and internationally.

Title: Securing the future: Resilient cities in the context of migration
Researchers at SKOK: PhD candidate Anders Rubing and professor Randi Gressgård
Researcher at the Department of Social Anthropology, UiB: Professor Bjørn Inge Bertelsen
Project duration: 2019-
To arrive at a more specific understanding of how resilience-informed security assemblages shape global challenges, the project sets out to examine the production of urban security problematics in the context of migration. Empirically, it focuses on transnational networks where security challenges are shaped and circulated.
The project is particularly concerned with reconfigurations of gendered and racialized challenges, as well as new forms of ignorance.
