Global Critical Infrastructure Workshop

Overview

Join us in Germany for our workshop on Critical Infrastructure, focused on regions outside of the United States. Global security interests are closely tied to the reliable provision of infrastructure, from the physical basing infrastructure that enables training and deployment to the communications infrastructure that connect forces. Recent attacks on infrastructure - both physical and cyber - highlight the risks to global defense, along with the impacts to military operations. This meeting will focus on bringing together global partners in security to discuss various challenges of infrastructure creation, modernization, protection, and recovery from disruptive incidents (both deliberate attacks and non-deliberate impacts of accidents, climate, etc.). We encourage the submission of abstracts that highlight analyses in these areas as they relate to security interests.

Focus Area 1: Development and Modernization: Analyses related to the location, funding, modernization, and maintenance of infrastructure or related systems.

Focus Area 2: Threats and Vulnerability: Analyses related to threats, methods of protection, proactive measures, and climate change.

Focus Area 3: Resilience: Analyses and case studies relating to disruption and responses, hardening, recovery, and adaptive capacity, including best practices and lessons learned.
