ESE-faculty-list FW: [PCCRC-global] JOIN US on April 7 for a conference on Network Resilience

[Lee, Linda S]

The PCCRC is pleased to convene a conference on Network Resilience - An Interdisciplinary Approach to Understand the Recovery from Shocks of Social, Transportation, Energy and Distribution Networks on Thursday, April 7, 2011 at Purdue's Discovery Park.

Disaster mitigation and recovery policies qualify as global, grand challenges that require the insights from multiple disciplines working in concert for developing solutions. This one-day conference brings together international researchers and scholars, focusing on the resilience of networks in a variety of settings including energy, distribution, and transportation from social science and engineering perspectives. With the goal to generate interdisciplinary approaches to networks, the Purdue Network Resilience Conference will include lectures from experts in these fields, poster presentations by graduate students, open and closed sessions on these critical topics, and informal discussions outside the conference hall.
For more information and to register for the event, please go to: www.purdue.edu/climate/networkresilience.  This is a no-cost event, and open to the public.  Please feel free to forward to colleagues who might be interested in attending!
