On 27 October 2025, the NUS Safety and Resilience Research Unit<\/strong> (SaRRU, https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/dbe\/cpfm\/sarru\/) under the Centre for Project and Facilities Management, Department of the Built Environment, hosted a public seminar titled \u201cAdvancing Infrastructure Resilience in Singapore: A Systemic Approach\u201d. This timely seminar brought together leading experts to explore the development of resilient infrastructure systems for our future.<\/p>\n

We were privileged to hear from our speakers:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Professor Liz Varga, University College London<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Associate Professor Goh Yang Miang, National University of Singapore<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Dr Tang Yuchun, National University of Singapore<\/strong><\/p>\n

The seminar featured a series of systemic approaches to strengthening Singapore\u2019s infrastructure resilience through the following two presentations:<\/p>\n

1. Enhancing Infrastructure Resilience in a Digital Age:<\/strong> This presentation focuses on the application of ISO 22372 (https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/50275.html), which aligns with digitally informed practices for standardized infrastructure governance, providing multi-stakeholders with a digitalized foundation and systemic guideline for high-quality lifecycle resilience management of infrastructure systems.<\/p>\n

2. Strengthening Infrastructure through Integrated Assessment and Optimisation:<\/strong> This presentation focuses on leveraging integrated resilience assessment and optimization tools to enable stress test and proactive protection for interdependent infrastructure systems, allowing decision-makers to anticipate and mitigate multi-hazards for net resilience gain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Together, these presentations offered the latest ISO standard, practical tools, and forward-looking strategies to safeguard essential infrastructure services against a wide range of hazards from climate-related risks to operational disruptions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you to all speakers and key industry partners from various infrastructure sectors in Singapore (including Land Transport Authority, National Parks Board, Changi Airport Group, Surbana Jurong Group, and National Mirror Working Group for ISO\/TC 292, etc.) for their invaluable expertise and spirited discussion. The conversations and connections made will undoubtedly contribute to enriching and advancing Singapore\u2019s future national infrastructure resilience strategy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This public seminar marked significant progress in an exciting collaborative partnership between the NUS Safety and Resilience Research Unit and the UCL Infrastructure Systems Institute (ISI, https:\/\/www.ucl.ac.uk\/infrastructure-systems\/). NUS SaRRU and UCL ISI will work together and have follow-up discussions with industry partners from various infrastructure sectors to deliver net resilience gains for Singapore<\/p>\n
