Call for session proposals

We welcome session proposals that connect disciplines, sectors and scales, including:
  • Infrastructure Resilience and Durability
  • Community Resilience
  • Urban Resilience
  • Coastal Resilience
  • Innovation to Implementation: Case studies, field experiences, emerging technologies, implementation challenges, lessons learned and examples of what has or has not worked in practice.
Sessions should focus on a meaningful question or challenge and encourage discussion that participants can apply to their research, projects, organizations and communities.
We welcome engagement from the Journal of Infrastructure Preservation and Resilience community. The journal and CSi3 share interests in infrastructure preservation, resilience, adaptation, monitoring, rehabilitation, risk, asset management and system performance.

Selected presenters may be invited to develop and submit an expanded manuscript for consideration. Submissions are subject to the journal’s scope, editorial review and peer-review process.
