FIDIC COVID-19 Webinar Series - Covid-19: How can the infrastructure industry improve its resilience to deal with future global pandemics?
The Covid-19 crisis has shown how susceptible the world is to global pandemics. Whilst there has been lots of research previously on how the world would deal with such a crisis, the first test of such systems proved that they are not effective.
This webinar will explore how the industry needs to learn from this experience. Should designs, operations and infrastructure be better structured in the future to avoid total lockdown? The industry should be ready to lead the way by becoming more resilient and better able to deal with future crises.
We have assembled an excellent line-up of expert speakers to discuss the key issues around how the infrastructure industry can make itself and what it builds more resilient. By sharing experiences from across the world, this webinar will offer help and guidance to firms facing the challenge of dealing with the current crisis as well as looking at how best to prepare for the future.
