Recently I was invited to help facilitate a workshop in Portugal to convene with colleagues on progress, challenges, and next steps for the field of Resilience Engineering. I’m curious what the blue sky universe has to say about Resilience Engineering and what is needed for the future?

In this article, we connect ideas an...
