　　讲座题目：Resilience and Systemic Risk: Breaking Silos through Working at the Interface

　　讲座摘要：The concept of resilience has been attracting increased attention from all disciplines including social science, phycology, political science, economics, ecology, epidemiology, and engineering. From the engineering perspective, we live in a rapidly changing world system with evolving natural and anthropogenic hazard-induced risks. The sources, magnitude, frequency and extent of these risks (whether one considers the influencing hazards, the affected systems, or their interactions) are not only complex to understand but are also temporally, spatially, and nonlinearly interdependent. This is why there is an urgent need to develop tools to understand, model, predict, and mitigate our complex world systemic risks—whereas failure of one system component can cascade throughout the entire system-of-systems in a domino-like (complete) system-level failure.
