Principal themes of the IFED-2023
The 2023 IFED Forum's theme is Knowledge, Memory and Intelligence for Decision-Making in in Today's Changing Society.
IFED forums feature issues in engineering decision making. The quantification and understanding of risk is critical in risk-informed decision making. The 12th IFED Forum focuses primarily on how knowledge, memory, observations and predictive models may best be developed and applied to support the development of strategies for governance and management of risk, resilience and sustainability of engineered societal systems. This includes emerging challenges related to effects of climate change, geopolitical instability, cyber security, as well as how to establish and balance trade-offs between decisions aiming to improve welfare, and their associated negative impacts to the environment.
Topics addressed (non-exhaustive list)
