Research & Analysis

We produce studies, assessments, reports and applied analysis on strategic risk, resilience, preparedness, communication and human factors. Our approach combines documentary sources, practical experience and multidisciplinary perspectives.

We do not set out merely to describe a problem. We organise the information, state the assumptions and the limits, and formulate solutions and recommendations that can support a decision, a policy or an intervention. We translate complex subjects into clear language without losing rigour.

Outputs can include
  • Thematic studies and analyses.
  • Risk, vulnerability and resilience assessments.
  • Reports, recommendations and lessons learned.
  • Policy briefs and materials for decision-makers.
  • Guides and tools for practitioners.
02Advisory
02 / 05 Institutions · Decision-makers

Advisory

We offer independent support to institutions and organisations that have to decide under pressure or prepare for high-impact risks. We start by understanding the context, the responsibilities, the stakeholders and the real level of maturity. Our recommendations are matched to existing capabilities and can be applied in practice.

We work confidentially, with clear objectives and deliverables. We can step in for a single assessment of a situation, or build broader preparedness and resilience programmes.

We can contribute to
  • Assessing risks, vulnerabilities and capabilities.
  • Resilience and preparedness strategies.
  • Governance, coordination and communication frameworks.
  • Plans, protocols and tools for teams.
  • Recommendations for leadership and crisis structures.
03Training & Education
03 / 05 Courses · Workshops · Leadership

Training & Education

We develop courses, masterclasses and workshops that combine concepts with real situations, decisions and practical exercises. The programmes are not built as simple transfers of information: they aim to develop a capacity that can be used in day-to-day work and under pressure.

The content can be adapted for leaders, communicators, technical experts, operational teams and professionals in the public or private sector. Depending on the objectives, programmes can include case studies, scenarios, team work, simulations and feedback sessions.

Possible topics
  • Preparedness, resilience and coordination.
  • Decision-making and leadership under uncertainty.
  • Human factors, perception and behaviour.
  • Nuclear and radiological preparedness.
  • Public communication.
  • Information integrity and responding to disinformation.

Exercises & Simulations

Exercises turn plans into practice.

Our approach covers the full exercise cycle.

The exercise cycle
  • Defining objectives and evaluation criteria.
  • Building the scenario.
  • Preparing participants and evaluators.
  • Facilitating and observing the exercise.
  • Analysing performance.
  • Identifying lessons.
  • Drafting and following up the improvement plan.
05Policy Dialogue
05 / 05 Roundtables · Consultations

Policy Dialogue

Complex risks cannot be managed by a single actor. We create spaces for dialogue between experts, institutions, academia, organisations and professional communities, so that the relevant perspectives can be compared before a decision or a policy is framed.

Through roundtables, consultations, working groups and thematic conversations, we bring technical expertise, practical experience and the social and communication implications into the same discussion. IARS can facilitate the process, synthesise the contributions and turn the dialogue into conclusions and directions for action.

Collaborate with us

We work with institutions, organisations, experts and professional communities on projects that turn analysis into preparedness and action. If you face a challenge that calls for complementary perspectives, an independent assessment or a framework for dialogue, we would like to talk.
