We face unprecedented challenges in many facets of our lives — at the individual, societal, technical, and environmental levels. We have experienced severe disruptions that have forced us not only to find new, innovative approaches in our personal and professional lives but also to adapt to unfamiliar circumstances and strengthen our resilience.

Our distinguished panelists will explore resilience across domains and from various disciplinary perspectives and provide unique insights on how to build and foster resilience on multiple levels. The discussion will explore the intersectional commonalities and differences in approaches to resilience across domains including climate, cybersecurity, education, and public health.
