TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM-LEVEL RESILIENCE – CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS
Symposium, 12th September 2025, 0900 to 1630 hours (Memphis, Tennessee: UTC-5)
FEDEX Institute of Technology. Room ‘The Zone’. FEDEX Building, University of Memphis, USA or Online.
Transport modes are interconnected. The transportation network is only as resilient as its weakest link. Extreme weather events and other system shocks are impacting mobility and disrupting supply chains with increasing frequency. Strengthening preparedness is vital, not only at mode level, but at system level. Join us as we bring together international and regional experts to embark on a journey to:
- Raise awareness of transport system interdependencies and the need for resilient, cross-modal solutions
- Highlight the potential consequences of inaction and a lack of preparedness
- Disseminate good practice case studies, both within modes and across modes
- Identify potential gaps in knowledge and research needs
- Facilitate collective action, continued discussion and knowledge exchange
The symposium will comprise a series of in person and online presentations by local and international experts, followed by a panel discussion. There will be plenty of opportunities for participants to engage, ask questions of the speakers, and share their own experiences. For more information about the event, click here.
Please note that the deadline for in-person registration is midnight Memphis time on Tuesday 10th September!!!
