- Real-Time Interdisciplinary Situation Report: Dream or Nightmare or Black Swan?
Germany faces a “turning point” with major investments in defense, disaster management, and critical infrastructure. Yet, without clear goals and situational awareness, planning is like driving in fog. Logistics—once profit-driven—now demand reliability, as seen in recurring medicine shortages. Laws like the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act add complexity without hardening supply chains. True resilience requires cross-sector, civil-military cooperation to identify bottlenecks and dependencies. Germany plans a real-time overview, but implementation lags. Experts agree: much remains to be done.

- Transforming the Way the British Government Understands and Acts in Emergencies
The UK National Situation Centre has transformed government crisis response since 2020. This presentation shows how technologies like ArcGIS evolved services from static packs to interactive tools engaging multi-source data. Using a recent crisis case study, it explores how event-driven, statistical, and geospatial data on digital platforms disrupt traditional policymaking for faster, better-informed decisions.
