Speakers
In an era of accelerating change and uncertainty, societies worldwide face growing volatility, disruption, and systemic shocks driven by climate change, technological transformation, digitalization, geopolitical tensions, and economic instability. These challenges expose deep interconnections across social, ecological, cultural, and institutional systems. In response, resilience has emerged as a vital framework for understanding and addressing these complexities across disciplines. This conference invites interdisciplinary contributions from scholars and practitioners to explore how individuals, communities, organizations, and nations navigate uncertainty, respond to disruption, and build resilience across environmental, social, cultural, economic, political, educational, and technological domains, with particular emphasis on linking theoretical insights to practical strategies.
