Welcome to Resilience Engineering Association
Resilience Engineering is a trans-disciplinary perspective that focuses on developing theories and practices that enable the continuity of operations and societal activities to deliver essential services in the face of ever-growing dynamics and uncertainty. It addresses complexity, non-linearity, inter-dependencies, emergence, formal and informal social structures, threats and opportunities.
The Resilience Engineering Association brings together more than 600 members and non-members, from academia and industry, to learn, collaborate, and co-create.
