Workshop Talks
The Venue
Purdue University, CSIRO, and Sandia National Laboratories are hosting the Cyber-Physical-Social-Infrastructure Climate Change (CPSICC) Nexus Workshop at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Conference Center and headquarters in Washington, DC with funding from NATO’s Science for Peace and Security Program and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate.
This building serves as a beacon for progress in embracing science and collaboration to achieve ambitious sustainability goals. The renovated building is net zero energy, which means the total amount of energy it uses yearly is equal to or less than the amount of energy created onsite by innovative technologies and renewable power generation. Learn more about the building here. Participants will have the opportunity to participate in a guided tour of AGU's net-zero-energy building operations. Advanced sign up is required as space is limited. Please register here.
Meeting Logistics
The workshop follows the tradition of Advanced Research Workshops (ARWs) and will engage 40-60 subject matter experts from NATO countries and eligible Partner countries in an intensive, interactive format featuring structured,
facilitated dialogues.
This invitation-only workshop spans 3.5 days (July 29 - August 1, 2024), starting mid-afternoon on Monday and ending Thursday late afternoon/early evening. It has been structured it to allow for some flexibility in participant arrival and departure times, in order to accommodate competing demands and schedules.
Specifically, the first 1.5 days of the workshop will focus on a series of contextualizing talks and panel discussions and then transition in the next two days to a series of tabletop gaming exercises, breakout sessions, and iterative in-person expert elicitations with panel discussions and short-format talks interspersed. The gameplay portion of the workshop will end by lunch on Thursday, as the afternoon will be spent summarizing, analysis, and identifying research gaps.
