The 58th ESReDA Seminar on
Using Knowledge to Manage Risks and Threats:
Practices and Challenges
Announcement and Call for papers
Scope of the seminar
High-risk industries, critical infrastructures, and urban settlements benefit from many decades of experience from risk management and regulation in different domains. Best practices have been formalised, research and development programs have been completed, and workers have been trained to acquire the available knowledge and transfer know-how. Risk analysis helped actors to better know and foresee the systemic risks, while the analysis of events, accidents and crisis have generated hindsight knowledge that remains useful to face the emerging risks and unexpected events.
Both risk management and knowledge management are still developing and maturing theoretically and in practice. While it is easy to see connection between knowledge and risk, they seem to be studied and practiced almost independently by different communities. This seminar is also about exploring existing and potential relations and complementarity between knowledge and risk management.
Exponentially developing knowledge is helping to better face with emerging risks from continuous innovation and increasing complexity. However, even for old systems, the question is “how difficult is it to apply existing knowledge to manage and regulate related risks”. Knowledge is mostly applied by people and a large proportion resides in them rather than disembodied sources; individual and collective skills and practices to produce and use knowledge are seldom highlighted. Knowledge remains a broad term that covers many distributed phenomena with various sources (from data and information to expertise), forms (from tacit to explicit), types (from generalized principles to specific cases), dimensions (from individual to social) and is addressed by various scientific disciplines (engineering, ergonomics, management, sociology,…). This likely raises numerous important questions, among them, e.g.:
What knowledge is required to manage and regulate risks for old and new technologies?
How to combine knowledge and imagination for foresight in risk assessment and management?
How to manage knowledge needs in engineering design and optimization for both derivative and disruptive technologies?
How to best use past knowledge? Could it become obsolete for present and future situations?
What kind of knowledge is useful to identify and interpret early warning signs?
How to integrate reported accident/incident investigation data into the knowledge base required to manage and regulate risks for old and new technologies?
How to use big data and machine learning to complement experts and improve existing knowledge?
What about real practices at work? -How is knowledge different from knowing? How is knowledge best embedded in actual professional practice?
Is using knowledge automatic? What artefacts and boundary objects help to establish the links between knowledge, risk and safety and practices?
Are the characteristics of skills and know-how acquisition and transmission really integrated in the engineering processes and knowledge management processes? How do they integrate memorization issues?
What is the role of case based learning and how does this vary from the teaching of general principles and theories for risk management and regulation?
How is knowledge influenced or disturbed by different pressures (production, political, economic, and managerial)? Is there a pressure for knowledge when we speak about risk rationale? How can these pressures be managed?
The 58th ESReDA seminar will be a forum for exploring these and other related questions. We aim to discuss theories, concepts, and experiences of enhancing the use of knowledge for better risk management and governance. Authors are invited to present their research and operational proposals and raise challenges, but also to discuss as well successes and failures in enhancing risk management through better use of risk knowledge. We want to encourage new ideas, scientific papers, conceptual papers, case studies and cross-sectoral and inter-disciplinary research on the theme of challenges and practices for using knowledge in risk management and governance. This seminar will bring together researchers, practitioners, specialists and decision-makers to discuss strategies and practical experiences.
Papers for contributions to the seminar are invited; please see instructions in the next paragraphs.

ESReDA new Project Group on Risks, Knowledge and Management
ESReDA launched in November 2020 a new project group to address the relationships between Risks, Knowledge and Management. The scope defined will be of interest to system designers, operators, managers, maintenance, lawyers, insurers, regulators, and many others working on safety and security including natural hazard management. The scope covers the safety, reliability and security related to multiple hazards (natural, industrial,…) and threats (malicious, terrorism, cyber) of systems (high-risk industry, a critical infrastructure, a communication and transport system over different territories etc.) involving all stakeholders (public, operators, regulators and government). Risk management integrates any activities and disciplines related to assessment, identification of early warning signs and emerging risks, foresight, investigation of events and lessons learning, management of barriers and lines of defense, reliability, and change of policies and culture. In this context, the keyword knowledge defines the main topic of the project: the endeavour to use knowledge to promote management and governance of risks (from design to operation and dismantling).

The 59th ESReDA Seminar on
Creating Safe and Resilient Logistic Systems
Announcement and Call for papers
Scope of the seminar
The issues of safe and resilient logistics systems constitute the competitive advantage of supply chains. Current enterprises implement their processes in a variable and uncertain environment. These conditions significantly affect the accuracy and effectiveness of decisions. Managers’ attention is focused primarily on events related to the occurrence of operational risk. In this case, the source of risks is internal disturbances in companies and processes implemented at organizations’ interfaces. Today, however, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, disaster risk research is also gaining particular importance. The consequences of the current pandemic indicate the necessity for companies to develop also competencies concerning the assessment and management of “black swan” risks. For this reason, creating secure and resilient supply chains takes on particular importance today. For this reason, the issues to be raised during the 59th ESReDA seminar “Creating Safe and Resilient Logistic Systems” are important not only for scientific but also utilitarian reasons.
The Seminar aims to discuss theories, concepts, and experiences of enhancing the use of knowledge for better reliability, resilience, and risk management. The presented research results, operational proposals, and case studies will respond to enterprises’ managerial staff’s current problems throughout Europe. Thus, this Seminar will bring together researchers, practitioners, specialists, and decision-makers to discuss strategies and practical experiences in the given field of research.
The 59th ESReDA seminar will be held remotely on October 26‐27, 2021, hosted by the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wroclaw, Poland. The sessions will be held using the zoom platform.
Topics include (but are not limited to)
Designing reliable logistics networks;
Design and optimization in transport and logistics;
Modelling and simulation of logistics and transport processes;
Planning and management of logistics and transport processes;
Efficiency and sustainability of supply chains;
Risk assessment and decision theory in transport and logistics systems;

The 60th ESReDA Seminar on
Advances in Modelling to Improve Network Resilience
Announcement and Call for papers
Scope of the seminar
In resilience engineering, failure is an inability to adapt to disruptions rather than a breakdown or malfunction, as is commonly the case in traditional risk analysis. Resilience encompasses the phases of avoiding (being proactive against the occurrence or consequences), absorbing (withstanding without reconfiguration), adapting to (reconfiguring) and recovering from disruptions (restoring the pre-disruption state as closely as possible).
Modern engineering systems continually increase in size and complexity, whilst also becoming more distributed, integrated, and autonomous, all of which can lead to many safety and risk management challenges. There is a constant, relentless pursuit of cheaper, more efficient, optimised performance, which can inadvertently introduce system vulnerabilities and potentially erode safety margins. Threats constantly evolve and emerge, with recent years seeing numerous failures of aging infrastructure, catastrophic events following natural disasters or due to the effects of climate change, and major disruption caused by deliberate acts such as terrorism and cyber or hybrid attacks. Increasingly automated and software-intensive infrastructure can struggle to adapt to unanticipated situations and can hence be extremely vulnerable to emergent threats. Coupling this with the growing complexity and interdependencies between infrastructure assets, it is clear that there is an urgent need for new approaches to protect these critical systems.
Many of the critical infrastructure systems on which modern society is so dependent are networks. These include transport networks (rail, metro, highway, air traffic and shipping routes), utilities (electricity, gas, water) and communications (mobile phone, land line phones, internet). The disruption of such systems can have a big impact on the communities that they serve. Such critical systems must be resilient. It is important to understand the characteristics of such networks and the methods that exist to model their resilience and to identify their weaknesses so that efforts are targeted at those places that will most protect network performance.
The 60th ESReDA seminar will be a forum for exploring these and other related issues. We aim to discuss theories, concepts, and experiences of methods for improved network resilience. Authors are invited to present their research and experience and discuss challenges in enhancing resilience through modelling. We are encouraging new ideas, case studies and cross-sectoral and inter-disciplinary research on the theme of network resilience. This seminar will bring together researchers, practitioners, specialists and decision-makers to discuss strategies and practical experiences.
Target groups and domains of application
Papers for the seminar are invited from various stakeholders, from practitioners to researchers (industrialists, regulators, safety boards, universities, R&D organisations, engineering contractors and consultants, training specialists) and could address different sectors:
Transport: rail, road, air and maritime
Critical infrastructure: electricity, water, telecommunications, information systems
Urban planning and management
Public sector and government.
This seminar is aimed at addressing resilience due to different threats, such as failures of aging infrastructure, natural disasters and climate change, intentional attacks (cyber-security and terrorism), and emerging threats, met by different industries, critical infrastructures and urban settlements. Other topics may be included if they fit well within the theme of the seminar and are related to engineering resilience.

The 61st ESReDA Seminar on
Technological disruptions triggered by natural events:
identification, characterization, and management
Announcement and Call for papers
Scope of the seminar
Climate change and the delays in adopting the necessary measures to manage it is in-creasing the number of disrupting events triggered by natural events. Sudden failures or gradual deterioration of system components due to natural events can bring to malfunc-tions, loss of containment and disruptions, whole likelihood is going to increase in the next future.
In recent years several methodologies and techniques have been proposed, able to take into account explicitly and in realistic way NaTech events, able to support the decision making in terms of prevention, protection, adaptation and management.
NaTech events have also another dimension to be considered, that is the territorial one, again in terms of prevention, management, and resilience.
The aim of the seminar is thus to discuss the state of the art and on-going developments in the NaTech risk assessment techniques and methodologies and to discuss their strength, weakness, and uncertainties in the assessment of the safety and resilience of complex systems.
The 61st ESReDA seminar will be held on September 22‐23, 2021, hosted by Politecnico di Torino, Italy

The 62nd ESReDA Seminar on
Managing the unexpected: designing systems to embrace
disorder for increasing asset reliability
Announcement and Call for papers
Seminar program
Scope of the seminar
Dealing with complex systems have certain characteristics that require consideration to be managed successfully. Understanding and dealing with unexpected events and the unknown are a major challenge in asset management.
Unexpected drifts from normal working conditions pose several concerns about the decrease of safety levels as well. Despite the enormous changes and developments in industry in the last decades as ‘an unprecedented fusion between and across digital, physical and biological technologies’, approaches for guaranteeing comparable safety and reliability improvement do not evolve quickly enough to offer adequate solutions in managing the mentioned complexity.
Complex assets require a different approach in dealing with unpredictable events and disorder. Consequently, it appears necessary, during the design phase of a complex system, to use tools and techniques for both withstanding stress (Kriete, 2013) and becoming stronger but without the necessity of predicting every circumstance. Referring to the work of Taleb (2012), reliability professionals are in need for ‘antifragile’ methods for embracing disruptive situations and unknowns.
The aim of the seminar is thus to discuss the state of the art and on-going developments in dealing with unexpected events for complex systems (i.e. infrastructures, energy production), presenting new techniques and methodologies and to discuss their strength, weakness, and uncertainties in order to improve reliability.
The 62nd ESReDA seminar will be held on April 12‐13, 2023, hosted by University of Twente, The Netherlands

Scope of the seminar
Research in resilience of infrastructure systems has been constantly increasing during the last decade and is expected to grow further. Although the term resilience was used in material science already in 19 th century, the current meaning of system resilience originates from research in ecology back in 70s. Self-repairable computer systems, being developed also in the same decade for space and defence applications, could be considered as examples of resilience applications in engineering. Resilience applications in technical systems domain have evolved most significantly during the last two decades and the term resilience has already been transferred to the policy domain, as the Directive on the Resilience of Critical Entities (CER Directive) went into force in January 2023 and replaced the Critical Infrastructure Directive, published in 2008.
Two fundamental points in resilience domain to be addressed by the Seminar are:
The methodological development of resilience assessment from a conceptual framework to modelling approaches.
The metrics for resilience assessment and development of quantitative tools for decision making.
The 63rd ESReDA seminar will be a forum for exploring these points and other related questions. We aim to discuss theories, concepts, and experiences of resilience assessment methodologies and applications. Authors are invited to present their proposals and discuss successes and/or failures and to identify future needs in resilience research. We want to encourage new ideas, scientific papers, conceptual papers, case studies and cross-sectoral research on this topic with examples and applications of infrastructures exposed to both technological and natural threats, hazards. This seminar will bring together researchers, practitioners and decision-makers.
Target groups and domains of application (examples)
Papers for the seminar are welcome from various stakeholders (industry, academia, R&D consultancy organisations) and could address different infrastructure sectors:
Energy sector (electricity, gas, hydrogen)
Transport sector (rail, road, air and maritime)
Other Critical infrastructures, networks and entities
Urban development
Public sector and government
This seminar is aimed at addressing resilience due to different hazards and threats, such as:
Disruptions of infrastructures due to aging or random failures,
Natural disasters,
Intentional attacks or man-made hazards,
Emerging threats (e.g. hybrid).
Interdependencies of infrastructures and cascading effects are also among the topics of the Seminar. It integrates as well technical, human, organizational, social, financial dimensions. Other topics may be included if they fit well within the topic on resilience assessment.
ESReDA project group on Resilience Assessment of Critical Infrastructure
ESReDA is currently considering a new project group (PG) on Resilience Assessment of Critical Infrastructure, pending approval by the General Assembly of ESReDA during the meeting in April 2023. This project group (PG) continues the work done in the previous ESReDA project group “Resilience Engineering and Modelling of Networked Infrastructure” during 2018-2021 years.
The aim of the PG is to develop and propose an integrated approach for quantitative resilience assessment including management decisions (comparison of solutions for investment, maintenance) in a context of uncertain scenarios (global change and emerging threats).
This Seminar will serve as a forum to discuss the work of the project group, exchange ideas and set a work plan for the next years. A dedicated project group meeting is planned on October 24, the day before the Seminar. The Seminar participants are welcome to join the meeting either as PG members or observers.

Accommodation and travel
Ispra is located 35km north of Milano Malpensa (MXP) airport and the transfer to the JRC takes ~30 minutes. Due to unexpected and unilateral contract changes, JRC experiences temporal difficulties to provide transportation from the airport to the site/hotel upon your arrival and departure. To easy the situation, we ask you to consider only flights to Milano Malpensa (MXP) and if possible during the day time (avoiding late evening and early morning flights). If that is unavoidable you might need to rent a car of use airport taxi service (consider that cost of a taxi ride MXP-JRC is ~100eur).
Please do not book any hotel at the moment, unless you will be able to be self-autonomous (e.g.rent a car). We are currently working to make the Seminar attendance as smooth as possible, we will keep you informed as soon as an agreement with a hotel is reached to host majority of the participants.

64th ESReDA seminar within The Digital Twin Week. Bilbao May 29th-31st, 2024
The Digital Twin Week is an event jointly promoted by ESReDA and the University of Deusto, along with projects funded by the European Union, BUILDCHAIN and ENHANCE. In addition to the 64th ESReDA regular seminar, this event includes a Doctoral Workshop on digital twin techniques (Bilbao, May 29th-31st, 2024).
Scope of the 64th ESReDA seminar
The study of the digital transformation in the context of industry and infrastructure is highly topical and interesting. One of the business areas where this transformation is expected to be most significant is maintenance. It is, therefore, important to analyze how maintenance can benefit fromis transformation and how to do it: What are the new technologies and tools with the greatest potential impact on maintenance and why? How can this transformation process be mandated and realized? How will emerging asset management platforms, intelligent maintenance Apps, and digital twins technology impact companies?.
The advent of new technologies has made the maintenance landscape more intricate, necessitating efficient management of vast information and predictive alarms within dynamic schedules. However, the complexity of optimizing the maintenance decision-making process often hampers the technology’s impact on organizations. Consequently, conventional maintenance practices continue to be the norm, leading to a delay in embracing digitalization and hindering the expected return on investment for companies undergoing the digital transformation effort. Overcoming this resistance to change is paramount, especially with the emergence of advanced digitalization approaches like digital twins technology, which introduces a new dimension and a complex System of Systems
(SoS) scenario.
Furthermore, the role of individuals in the context of maintenance digitalization of maintenance is critical. Embracing digital transformation offers an opportunity for human evolution, leveraging the expertise and experience of employees in the new digital environment. This, in turn, provides a competitive edge in driving innovation and technological progress.
The challenges become even more significant when considering the transformation of assets or systems with limited digitization. Such assets represent a considerable portion of those amenable to digitization today and often hold valuable knowledge about their degradation and maintenance, typically residing with the personnel responsible for their management. Capturing and transferring this expertise into digital twin systems or intelligent maintenance Apps becomes essential for fully unlocking the potential benefits of digital transformation in maintenance practices as digitalization continues to advance.
This seminar aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and experts from various disciplines to share their insights and advancements in the realm of digital maintenance and its relationship with digital twins, complex systems, and human resources. The event intends to provide a vision of digital maintenance once the foundational technologies (AI, predictive analytics, digital twins, IoT, cloud/edge/fog computing, etc.) have reached a sufficient degree of maturity. This vision should facilitate drawing conclusions on the approaches needed to overcome current barriers that limit the full development of digital maintenance, particularly in assets and systems with a low level of digitization. During the seminar, participants will have the opportunity to share experiences in applying different technologies to improve maintenance, review the state of the art of these technologies, and evaluate their real impact on organizations and the evolution of their maintenance models.

Venue
Faculty of Engineering – University of Deusto, Bilbao Campus
The University of Deusto was inaugurated in 1886. The concerns and cultural interest of the Basque Country in
having their own university, as well as the interest of the Jesuits in establishing higher studies in some part of the
Spanish State coincided in its conception. Nowadays, Bilbao is the center of a metropolitan area with more than
one million inhabitants, a city traditionally open to Europe.
The central headquarters of the University of Deusto is located on the opposite side of the estuary, facing the Bilbao Guggenheim Museum, an emblematic symbol of the significant transformation of Bilbao during the last three decades. In 1916, the “Universidad Comercial de Deusto” received a group of students who would be the first graduates in Economic Sciences in Spain.
The institution is located on two campuses: Bilbao and San Sebastian and headquarters in Madrid and Vitoria. It counts with 10.000 students, 600 professors and 1200 invited professors. As Jesuit University, Deusto is a part of an international network, formed by 202 educational institutions that provide a pedagogical tradition centered on the person as essential value.
