Today we face humanitarian crises of increasing complexity and severity and, as we anticipate a future of increasing human vulnerability to global events, the need for expertise and research dedicated to finding solutions has never been more pertinent.

Our vision: ELRHA aims to see a global humanitarian community where humanitarian actors actively collaborate with higher education institutes to develop highly professional responders, share expertise and carry out research that noticeably reduces risk

Our objective: ELRHA aims to stimulate and support collaborative partnerships between academic and humanitarian communities to produce research and training that delivers measurable impact in the prevention of and response to global humanitarian crises.

How we help Humanitarian Agencies: ELRHA hopes to make it much easier for humanitarian organisations to find the expertise they need to investigate and act on humanitarian challenges.

How we help Universities: ELRHA hopes to make it easier for the higher education community to work in partnership with the humanitarian community by facilitating communication and research opportunities with the humanitarian organisations.
