The 4TU.DeSIRE program and the 4TU.RE Center aim to establish and foster an international network of top-level academic scholars, engineers, practitioners and decision-makers who serve as ambassadors of the RE paradigm. This network of Resilience Fellows:

The Intelligent Electrical Power Grids (IEPG) section within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science at TU Delft has a very ambitious and diversified research programme covering major technological challenges concerning the operation and planning of future power grids. IEPG is building a new research programme on resilience of cyber-physical energy systems that includes cyber security for power grids. The doctoral candidate will conduct research on cyber security and resilience of cyber-physical energy systems to cyber attacks.

Professor Neelke Doorn (TU Delft) received a Vidi Grant worth € 800,000 for her research ‘Responsibility for resilience in climate adaptation’. This research is about the responsibility of citizens in climate adaptation policy. Citizens are increasingly expected to take responsibility for resilience to climate change. Neelke will use the grant to spend the next five years to develop an ethical theory and study the extent to which civic responsibility can be shared fairly and effectively in climate adaptation policy. She hopes that this project will pave the way for climate policy that is not only effective, but also fair in the sense that everyone will benefit, not just highly educated people.

Professor Jan Dirk Jansen, Dean and Professor of Reservoir Systems and Control at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences (CEG), has received the Royal honour for his contributions to Earth Sciences research in the Netherlands and his talent for bringing together science and wider society. With that he has been made a Knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion.

International Science and Engineering Applications Symposium on Hazards 2019 (ISESH2019) is a global platform to discuss and learn about factors, causes and consequences of different types of hazards.

Join us for a session on Resilience Engineering at the DMDU2019 conference in Delft, November 5-7 and submit an abstract for our Track “Finding the Tipping Point. Deep Uncertainty for Resilience Engineering in Complex & Coupled Systems.” Submission deadline: June 15 via the conference website.

On behalf of the 4TU Centre for Resilience Engineering and the Strategic Research Programme DeSIRE (Designing Systems for Informed Resilience Engineering), we would like to invite you to the first 4TU DeSIRE-conference on Resilience Engineering. The aim of this national conference is to provide a forum for scientists and practitioners to connect, share experiences and raise challenges on all aspects related to Resilience Engineering of social-technological-ecological systems. Together, we want to build a resilience engineering community and start or further strengthen collaborations.

People in the picture: Tatiana Filatova We have to connect and create synergy to make societal impact

The postdoc work will be executed at the WEM group, part of the Civil Engineering Department, University of Twente in Enschede, the Netherlands. Within the UT, under the Faculty of Engineering Technology (ET), you will be part of the Water Engineering and Management (WEM) group, a team of approximately 60 academics and PhD’s in the topics of marine, coastal and river systems, sedimentary processes, water footprint and policy studies. For more information on the WEM group: https://www.utwente.nl/en/et/wem/. The postdoc will be supervised by the mentor listed under project description.
