The Amsterdam Center of Excellence in Risk, Resilience and Regulation (AC3R) is a new interdisciplinary collaboration between the Amsterdam School of Economics (ASE), the Amsterdam Business School (ABS) and the Amsterdam Law School (ALS). AC3R consolidates and significantly enhances existing collaborations between scholars from the three schools and two faculties and strengthens active collaboration with external parties. AC3R was formally established on January 1, 2025.
Twenty-first century global crises - whether financial-economic, environmental, technological or epidemiological - call for a convergence and integration of approaches and methodologies to develop a better understanding of and response to the modern threats to society.
AC3R conducts fundamental research on three interrelated themes: (i) twenty-first century risks; (ii) socio-economic and financial resilience; and (iii) economic and financial regulation.
