Arnstein Aassve

One of Europe’s leading experts on crisis resilience, Prof. Aassve coordinates the research teams and facilitates dialogue between researchers, policymakers and the public. “Behind us are the days when researchers only presented their findings at the very end of a project”, he says. "FutuRes will continuously invite the feedback of experts and citizens."

A Professor of Demography at the Department of Social and Political Science at Bocconi University, Arnstein Aassve has published widely in demography, sociology, economics, public health and applied statistics. He has worked closely with EUROFOUND concerning trends in trust, social cohesion and economic and political discontent. His particular expertise is in population dynamics and its connections with culture, institutions and comparative policy in the European setting. His latest research concerns ageing and resilience, with a particular focus on how one can enhance resilience through policy design.
