Invitation: Survey for the Next BRIM Workshop
We are planning on running a workshop that aims to discuss and review the following question:
What are the three main research challenges for Building Resilience Into Risk Management in Engineering over the next five to ten years?
In order to structure the workshop we invite you to answer this question by following the link below. The question will be open until 2nd April 2017. Following this, we will send you a new link which will contain all the input we’ve received and you will be asked to cluster the responses. Once this has been done, the tool will create headings which we can use in the workshop to structure our discussions.
Please note, this does mean that at the workshop we will see ideas submitted from people who may not be able to attend the workshop. We hope that you will agree that this is a good way of incorporating as many ideas as possible to form a community view.
