CIPSER

Research publications and findings are available through our peer reviewed journal, Pulse & Praxis: The Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection, Security and Resilience – which is an open access journal. We also feature articles and highlights of our research in our newsletter and on our website.

NC-CIPSeR operates as a not-for-profit to maintain a focus on public interest and societal safety without the influence of institutions or profit motives. This structure facilitates collaboration with various stakeholders, including government entities, academic institutions, and industry leaders, to advance the protection and resilience of critical infrastructure collectively. This approach ensures that research and solutions are driven by need and efficacy rather than financial incentives. The Centre can make decisions quickly and pivot when needed.

The centre is closely aligned with Carleton’s Infrastructure Protection and International Security Master’s program and the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs. The centre’s multi-disciplinary approach creates a simple recipe to collaborate across programs and faculties.

NC-CIPSeR undertakes various projects such as the Energy Sector Task Force which identifies vulnerabilities and priorities and Project CANVAS, which involves maintaining a threat and hazard library for critical infrastructure protection.  We take a strategic approach in how we identify projects to invest in.

NC-CIPSeR, the National Centre for Critical Infrastructure Protection, Security and Resilience is a not-for-profit centre of excellence.  Partnered with Carleton University, NRCan and CNL, and dedicated to the protection, security, and resilience of critical infrastructure in Canada. It collaborates with stakeholders to address infrastructure protection needs through research, innovative solutions and education.
