With climate change driving the need for resilient infrastructure and humanity’s push towards sustainable space explorations continuing, the demand for research on materials, structures and systems that can endure extreme conditions has never been greater. This workshop aims to bring together a wide range of science and engineering disciplines to showcase Surrey’s technical capabilities and foster interdisciplinary collaboration with the shared goal of future-proofing infrastructure against extreme environmental and operational conditions.
With climate change driving the need for resilient infrastructure and humanity’s push towards sustainable Lunar and Martian explorations and colonies, the demand for research on materials, structures, and systems that can endure extreme environmental and operational conditions has never been greater. This multidisciplinary workshop is unique in its scope and ambition to bring together a wide range of science and engineering disciplines with the shared goal of future-proofing infrastructure against extreme environmental and operational conditions.
Beyond presentations and demonstrations, the workshop will include co-design and co-creation workshops, keynotes and panel discussions aimed at developing a research blueprint for infrastructure futureproofing. This is an exciting opportunity to connect with leading researchers and innovators, shape the future of critical infrastructure, and explore collaboration opportunities.
