12th March 2023
The most recent Risk & Resilience Day 2024 workshop was organised by SEN CO’I, Robin Preece, on 12th March. More than 60 attendees (from 16 UK universities, 7 international universities and research institutes, and 8 UK industries) joined members of the SEN team in Newcastle. There was a marked increase in industry attendance, with industry attendees discussing strategic innovation fund (SIF) projects (the day aligning with the close of SIF Alpha projects in March). That growth enabled an industry session for the first time, as well as increased industry-academia discussion throughout the day.
Keynotes from Professor Liz Varga (Chair in Complex Systems, UCL) who discussed ‘Energy resilience in the context of infrastructure resilience’ and Martin Queen (OFGEM), whose talk was ‘Risk and resilience: a regulator’s perspective’. Attendee presentations were split across four workshop sessions (12 oral presentations), 24 posters presentations, plus the workshop’s first hardware demonstration.
