Dear SIGCIS,

my colleagues at TU Darmstadt are organizing a virtual conference on critical infrastructures this November. Topics range from digitalization to decarbonisation to urbanization. Keynote lectures will be helt  by Timothy Moss (Humboldt University of Berlin), Anique Hommels (Maastricht University), Niklas Vespermann (German Federal Network Agency for Electricity, Gas, Telecommunications, Post and Railway). Participation is free of charge. I thought the conference theme might be interesting for some here on the list. Maintenance and repair will be specially addressed. You find more information on the conference website: https://kritis.gitlab.io/intconf2021/ The website will be updated continuously. You also find the program there.

Best wishes from Darmstadt, Germany
Martin
