Decision-making for infrastructure resilience. Bridging the science practice divide
23 September 2020, 9am and 5pm BST

From utilities to the internet, over the last two decades infrastructure networks have increased in interdependency and level of integration with society. It is crucial to assure their resilience for ongoing challenges, such as COVID-19 and cyber threats, but also for future scenarios including climate change, ageing assets, and increased urban density.

Dr Gianluca Pescaroli and Savina Carluccio, Associate Director-Infrastructure Advisory at Arup, will host this joint lecture, which bridges the work done by UCL IRDR and ARUP teams to investigate requirements and barriers for improving decision-making for resilience in infrastructure. They will discuss lessons learned and challenges to business continuity, facility and data management. Are you ready to be disrupted?
