Past
Understanding and explaining system failures are paramount in multiple disciplines such as engineering and the life sciences. Social considerations are often overlooked when analyzing failures, but should play a crucial role in the design, implementation, and in mitigating possible failure of systems.
Join us for a virtual forum on “Failures in Social Systems”—a first step toward shaping an integrated understanding of systems failures that is informed by the convergence of biological, behavioral, sociological, and engineering insights on March 7, 2024 from 10:30am-4:30pm ET.
This forum is hosted by the Board on Human-Systems Integration, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education; Board on Life Sciences, Division on Earth and Life Studies; and the Forum on Complex Unifiable Systems, National Academy of Engineering; with funding from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
