The topic for ESREL 2018 was “Safe Societies in a Changing World” and IMT's ambition for the conference was to advance the understanding, modeling, and management of the complexity of the risk, safety and reliability fields characterizing our world, both now and in the future.
With the support of NTNU, the conference engaged in broadening the scope of risk, safety and reliability from the technical to natural, financial and social aspects, focusing on inter-dependencies of functions and cascade of failures in complex systems.
