## Abstract

Urban resilience is an interdisciplinary grand challenge that requires coordination of talents and resources to create transdisciplinary solutions that holistically consider how technology, people, and environment interact. Existing networks on urban resilience are often shaped by their regional, disciplinary and social contexts. The objectives this AccelNet Implementation (Phase 1) project are to (i) build strategic links among disciplinarily and geographically comprehensive U.S. and international networks, called Resilient-NET, to synergize complementary scientific expertise, and provide its members the critical access to data, platforms, pilot projects and research capabilities, and (ii) prepare the U.S. students and early-career researchers to solve future urban resilience problems, strengthen their global leadership skills through collaborations. Major networks to be connected include the Singapore-Switzerland-Netherlands network on future urban resilience, U.S. Extreme Events Research (EER) networks, International and U.S. networks in AI research, U.S. geospatial research network, U.S. logistics and supply chain resilience network, and Global South network. This project will generate an OPEN-NET platform for data sharing, focused research groups and projects, annual workshops, bi-annual symposiums, major workforce development activities including scholar/student visit. By consolidating a roadmap towards future resilient urban eco systems and nurturing future workforce i
