R2D2 will host the panel session “Resilience Against Natural Disasters and Extreme Weather: Innovations, Applications, and Policies in Power Systems,” scheduled for November 5th at 11:00 am at MEDPOWER 202 in Athens.

Moderated by Mathaios Panteli of the University of Cyprus, this critical session brings together leading voices from academia, industry, and research to tackle a top global priority: resilient power systems. As climate change, cyber threats, and natural disasters increasingly threaten grid reliability, building adaptive and resilient infrastructure is essential. Supported by the R2D2 Horizon Europe Project the panel will discuss key advancements in power system resilience. Topics will include:

• Advanced Monitoring and Control Systems that respond in real-time to grid disruptions.
• Integration of Renewable Energy Sources and microgrid deployment to enhance local resilience.
• Data Analytics and Machine Learning to drive predictive maintenance and informed risk management.
• Investment and Policy frameworks that prioritize resilience across interconnected power networks.

Also, the R2D2 team will present the paper session “Identifying Critical Components in Power Networks through Machine Learning,” authored by G. Paphitis, B. V. Venkatasubramanian, and M. Panteli. This presentation will highlight innovative machine learning applications that identify and address vulnerabilities in power networks.
