Prof. Dr. A. Jovanovic presented the lecture: “Fooled by (past) resilience: Why do we overestimate resilience of our critical infrastructures” at University of Wuppertal (BUW). January 24, 2018 Mr. Jovanovic was invited as guest lecturer for the public safety lecture series at BUW. His presentation focused on the state of the art knowledge about resilience quantification developed within the SmartResilience project. The Horizon 2020 research project is elaborating a new advanced resilience assessment methodology in order to measure and increase resilience of smart critical infrastructures (SCIs) within Europe and around the world. The lecture is available on Youtube (for the BUW channel see Here) and Facebook.

Steinbeis Advanced Risk Technologies Group (R-Tech)
is a cluster of business units belonging to and/or linked to Steinbeis (www.steinbeis.de). Over 1000 Steinbeis units are present in over 50 countries worldwide and they act today as a global player in the area of innovation management and technology transfer. The “Steinbeis Advanced Risk Technologies” group of units deals with various aspects of risks, risk engineering and risk management, in:
- petro-chemical and process plants
- power plants and energy supply
- material technologies, especially advanced material technologies
- new & alternative technologies (CO2, H2, nano, …)
- other areas
Main practical issues dealt with are:
- risks in/of innovation (e.g. risks of unexpected side-effects)
- risk of non-performance or performance below expectations (e.g. risks of system or component failures)
- risk of adverse/unexpected effects and impacts (e.g. on public health and/or environment)
- risks over the life-cycle of products and technologies (e.g. unexpected problems in decommissioning or recycling phase)
- risk-based inspection (RBI)
- reliability centered maintenance (RCM)
- project risks, especially in innovation, R&D and new technologies oriented projects.
Organizing European and national stakeholders, promoting and supporting technology transfer, introducing new approaches to the risks and their management, developing specific methods and tools are examples of these activities.
R-Tech is also one of the five founding members of European Virtual Institute for Integrated Risk Management EU-VRi. The institute (www.eu-vri.eu) is an EEIG (European Economic Interest Grouping). The group is capable to cover the above topics either on its own or in close co-operation with Steinbeis network, European Virtual Institute for Integrated Risk Management (EU-VRi), Virtual Institute of Knowledge-based Multifunctional Materials (KMM-VIN), European Technology Platform Industrial Safety (ETPIS) and other networks (all involving over 2,000 persons and over 500 companies).
The activities of the R-Tech group involve projects and activities on industrial, national, EU, and international level, tackling, e.g.:
- integrated management of risk related to new technologies (e.g the iNTeg-Risk project)
- smart resilience indicators for Smart Critical Infrastructures (SCIs) (SmartResilience Project)
- standardization it the area of emerging risks and resilience, e.g. the CWA 16694 (DIN SPEC 91299:2013-10)
In order to provide the optimal service and results, the R-Tech group has dedicated units for specific area of “advanced risk technologies” such as:
- technology transfer
- education
- R&D
- industrial services (“business-oriented”)
- EU-related issues
Large web-based system iRiS (Integrated Risk Management System) and its derivatives have been developed for the petroleum and power industries and have been applied worldwide. R-Tech supports ETPIS - European Technology Platform on Industrial Safety, coordinates activities in the area of emerging risk and has leaded the activity on standardizing the EU approach in the area of RBI (Risk Based Inspection), leading to the CEN Workshop Agreement document 15740: 2008/2011 and the subsequent EU-standard EN 16991:2016
