Resilience is becoming one of the defining challenges of the digital age. As societies and industries become increasingly interconnected, resilience depends on our ability to protect and adapt critical systems across both digital and physical domains.
The Digital Futures Resilience Workshop brings together researchers, industry leaders, and public-sector stakeholders to explore resilience from multiple perspectives – from cybersecurity and information security to protection of critical infrastructure and societal preparedness.
The workshop offers a unique opportunity to learn about ongoing research, discuss emerging challenges, and identify new opportunities for collaboration across academia, industry, and the public sector. Through presentations, discussions, and networking, participants will help shape future research directions and partnerships in an area of growing strategic importance.
Resilience is no longer a specialized concern – it is a prerequisite for a secure, sustainable, and competitive society. Join us to help define what resilience should mean in the digital age and how academia, industry, and the public sector can work together to achieve it.
