DeSIRE Conference June 2019

4TU DeSIRE conference on Resilience Engineering
Building Connections for Resilience Engineering Solutions

On 6 and 7 June 2019 the 4TU Centre for Resilience Engineering and the Strategic Research Programme DeSIRE (Designing Systems for Informed Resilience Engineering) organized the first 4TU DeSIRE-conference on Resilience Engineering. The aim of this national conference is to provide a forum for scientists and practitioners to connect, share experiences and raise challenges on all aspects related to Resilience Engineering of social-technological-ecological systems. Together, we want to build a resilience engineering community and start or further strengthen collaborations.

To look back on the conference, have a look at our Flickr photo album. 

Below you can find the programme of the 2019-conference. Presentations of the different sessions can be found here.
