Smart dashboard should predict regional outbreaks COVID-19
The first dashboard in the Netherlands that will predict, with great certainty, where local outbreaks of COVID-19 infections may occur. A multidisciplinary research team led by Nelly Litvak, Professor of Algorithms for Complex Networks at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), will work on this dashboard, thanks to a half million-euro grant from ZonMW. The team has worked since the corona outbreak in March to provide such predictions using aggregated mobility information from cell phone usage. The grant will be used to significantly improve those predictions, through the smart combination with data from the COVID Radar App. This will enable safety regions, responsible for local and regional corona measures, to intervene faster and more effectively in the event of imminent corona outbreaks and can even prevent the emergence of new hotbeds.

Fellowship Programme update
To create international impact, the DeSIRE programme features a Fellowship Programme. This programme enables 4TU researchers with an interest in resilience of social-environmental-technical systems to invite and cooperate with junior and senior researchers from around the world. Calls for applications are launched on a regular basis (once or twice a year). Our ambition is to have a group of 100 Resilience fellows (including a couple of appointed ambassadors) by the end of 2022. These fellows and ambassadors are invited for our events and play a key role in advancing and spreading our new knowledge, approaches, tools and ideas about resilience engineering.

Call for abstracts Joint International Resilience Conference 2020 has opened
It is unbelievable how our daily life has changed in the last weeks. The impact of the corona virus is immense. As we are struggling to keep up with the latest numbers, our plans and decisions are fraught with uncertainty. How long will this situation last? How will we recover? Are we prepared and resilient enough? As resilience scientists, this keeps going through our minds.

4TU RE researchers awarded with European project on the response to the Corona-virus outbreak
Our 4TU.RE Scientific Vice Director Tina Comes and Resilience Fellow Harith Alani will start working on the HERoS project (Health Emergency Response in interconnected Systems), dedicated to understanding the system-wide implications of the Corona outbreak. The 3-year project is coordinated by Hanken School of Economics, Finland. The HERoS project will focus on a better understanding of the development of the outbreak, and the role of coordination, information, and rippling effects across (medical) supply chains.
