The seminar offers a forum for exploring, stimulating discussions on theories, concepts and experiences of resilience assessment methodologies and applications.

The aim is to encourage new ideas, scientific and conceptual papers, case studies and cross-sectoral research on the topic with examples and applications of infrastructures exposed to both technological and natural hazards and threats, such as:

• Disruptions of infrastructures due to ageing or random failures;
• Natural disasters;
• Intentional attacks or man-made hazards;
• Emerging threats (e.g. hybrid).

At the 63^rd ESReDA seminar, two fundamental points in resilience domain to be addressed are:

• The methodological development of resilience assessment from a conceptual framework to modelling approaches;
• The metrics for resilience assessment and development of quantitative tools for decision making.

New project group proposal

ESReDA is currently considering a new project group (PG) on Resilience Assessment of Critical Infrastructure. The aim of the PG is to develop and propose an integrated approach for quantitative resilience assessment including management decisions (comparison of solutions for investment, maintenance) in a context of uncertain scenarios (global change and emerging threats). The PG will be founded on the work done in the previous ESReDA project group “Resilience Engineering and Modelling of Networked Infrastructure” during 2018-2021 years.
