The International Conference on Resilience arises from the belief that resilience must be reimagined as an interdisciplinary and intersectoral pursuit. It will bring together researchers, academicians, practitioners, and policymakers from around the globe to explore how diverse disciplines can converge to address resilience in holistic ways. In a world increasingly marked by uncertainty—climate emergencies, economic fluctuations, health emergencies, digital disruptions, migration, resource scarcity, and rising socio-political polarities, the concept of resilience has emerged as a critical lens through which systems, societies, and individuals must be re-evaluated. Resilience, in this context, is not merely about survival or recovery; it is about strategic adaptability, where disruptions are transformed into opportunities for structural improvement and systemic innovation.
