Hosted by the ResChain Project Team
Overview
The aim of this workshop is to discuss and identify risks and vulnerabilities in the energy supply chain.
As global energy demand continues to surge and is projected to rise significantly by 2027, the energy supply chain faces increasing exposure to complex, cascading, and systemic threats. Timely identification and understanding of these threats are critical to preventing disruption and reducing long-term damage.
However, current risk assessment approaches often fall short to capture the diverse concerns, priorities, and interdependencies of the stakeholders involved in the energy ecosystem. This results in fragmented and misaligned mitigation efforts across the energy supply chain. The ResChain project aims to explore these tensions and frictions and better identify core risks and threats in the energy ecosystem, considering diverse views from the energy sector’s stakeholders.
As part of the ResChain project, which is being funded by SPRITE+, the Universities of Bournemouth, Warwick, Loughborough, Derby and Aberdeen are organising a workshop to bring stakeholders in the energy sector together to discuss and identify risks and vulnerabilities in the energy supply chain. During this workshop, the energy sector’s stakeholders perceptions of risks, interests and concerns, and tensions that will expose critical vulnerabilities in the energy supply chain will be discussed, and data on these perspectives, interests, concerns and tensions will be collected. This workshop will be held on 24 March 2026, Tuesday from 11AM to 3PM, and will take place online on Microsoft Teams. Registration is free-of-charge. An outline for the agenda is given below:
