Scientific research is critical to national and economic security. Successful evaluation and mitigation of risks to water, energy, communications, and transportation systems – critical infrastructure (CI) –require complex assessments of cascading physical and economic impacts across human, built, and natural landscapes. Sector interdependencies and cross-cutting domains such as cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI) make this even more challenging; addressing them requires scientific expertise spanning multiple fields. However, integration of scientific data, models, and insight into security decisions is often intellectually and logistically complex. This session will highlight research that impacts national and economic security, including collaborations between academia, industry, and government, to foresee, quantify, and mitigate risks to people, critical infrastructure systems, the economy, and society. We welcome presentations about applied projects and presenters working on approaches and solutions that bridge cross-domain challenges.
