Contemporary socio-ecological-technological systems are non-ergodic: their future trajectories aren’t just probabilistic echoes of the past but are continuously reshaped by evolving causal structures, emergent feedbacks, and path-dependent thresholds.
Risk science thus faces epistemological challenges that can contribute to spawning maladaptive policies, unforeseen trade-offs, and cascading failures.
This two-day workshop convenes complexity theorists, risk and resilience researchers, social scientists, and modelling experts as a concerted push to move beyond rather static risk management toward adaptive resilience frameworks that can effectively respond to and support action in continuously shifting risk landscapes. This event is part of a series of international gatherings attempting to cohere meaningful coalitions of researchers toward these grand challenges, and particular emphasis will be placed on identifying how projects that emerge from this workshop connect to the existing momentum and community.
