This years Resilience Week conference will be held in Denver, Colorado from August 20-23.
Resilience week is a co-sponsored symposium dedicated to promising research in resilient systems that will protect critical cyber-physical infrastructures from unexpected and malicious threats – securing our way of life. This year marks the third annual Student Competition. Undergraduate and graduate students are invited to present original research on one of the related themes.
Since launching the Resilience Engineering Institute (REI) in February 2018, REI members have been busy shaping perspectives on resilience across the US. REI members were invited to attend and speak at five events across military, private, and academic industries. These events span a breadth of topics from training the next generation of US soldier to manage crisis in urban areas to building an international research network to address natural disasters across the world. The breadth of topics shows the growing influence of resilience theory and practice in diverse industries and settings. Moreover, REI’s participation shaping these events shows that resilience engineering concepts provide important guidance for decision-making in an untold number of stressful situations, from planning a military attack to protecting a city from oncoming disaster.
It’s conference season again and there’s a great line-up to choose from. We’ve summarized some of our favorites in a series of blog posts. Check our calendar page to see more conferences on resilience, sustainability, infrastructure, and disaster management. Our first review is ISSST 2018.
