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.

SKH's representative in Campus total defence is Vice-Chancellor Ellen Røed.
