The next International Conference on Resilient Systems will take place from 23 to 25 March 2026. The 4TU.Centre for Resilience Engineering will host the conference in Delft, the Netherlands.
As in the previous years, the conference will be a platform for researchers from all over the world to gather and share their expertise in the design, analysis and management of resilient, interconnected social-technical-environmental (STE) systems. We organize this conference together with the Singapore-ETH Centre, ETH Zürich and Technische Universität Darmstadt.
Call for Tracks - deadline 31 January 2025
The organising committee is now welcoming academic researchers from a broad range of disciplines to submit proposals for tracks.

Call for Tracks - Frequently Asked Questions
What is the seniority required level for being a chair?
No titles required. We look for good ideas and making credible that you are able to activate people to submit / review for the track, but that does not depend on positions.
Is there an expectation that the track will involve more than one of the consortium universities?
Ideally, the track is open to submissions from anywhere. Regarding co-chairs: no specific requirements.
Can the chair be from another university if the expertise would not be in-house of universities but relevant for our Resilience System Community?
Absolutely! This conference is for us a means to extend and build our network, so the more (diverse) the merrier.
What is the difference between a track and a session?
A track is a broad thematic umbrella under which related topics are grouped for the duration of the conference. Tracks provide a cohesive framework for organizing the conference's content, with a limited number planned. Each track may contain multiple sessions, which are smaller, more focused discussions or presentations on specific aspects of the track's theme.
Given the goal of maintaining a manageable number of tracks, we may need to merge similar track proposals where there is significant thematic overlap. Additionally, some proposed tracks might be redefined as sessions within a larger, more comprehensive track. This decision will depend on factors such as content scope, the range of proposed subtopics, and the number and relevance of speakers.
By submitting a track proposal, contributors acknowledge and agree that their submission might be adjusted in scope—either by merging with other tracks or being rebranded as a session within a broader track—depending on the overall conference structure and content needs.
