Mission

The Centre is dedicated to conducting world leading, high quality research into SMEs that will be of value to those concerned with the development of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). Since 1999, the Centre has extensive experience in completing high quality research programmes, disseminating findings and running workshops, seminars and symposia.

The organization has no registered commitments.

The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
