IEEE RISC 2026

The IEEE Conference on Resilience and Integrated Security for Space & Critical Systems (RISC) is the first IEEE conference dedicated to the security and resilience of space systems and the critical infrastructure that impacts or is impacted by space applications. RISC brings together researchers, engineers, and policymakers working at the frontier of space systems security and critical infrastructure resilience. RISC grew out of the IEEE Workshop on Security and Resiliency of Critical Infrastructure and Space Technologies (SR-CIST), building on a community that recognizes space systems not as passive infrastructure, but as active drivers of systems we depend on. From satellite constellations, ground control security, to space medicine, autonomous systems, and cross-domain threat propagation, RISC fosters a research community dedicated to addressing the new security and resilience challenges in space and space-dependent applications. RISC is co-located with IEEE TPS, CIC, and CogMI and will be held November 4-6, 2026 in San Jose, CA. (For more Information, move to CFP)

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion are central to the goals of the IEEE Computer Society and all of its conferences. Equity at its heart is about removing barriers, biases, and obstacles that impede equal access and opportunity to succeed. Diversity is fundamentally about valuing human differences and recognizing diverse talents. Inclusion is the active engagement of Diversity and Equity.

A goal of the IEEE Computer Society is to foster an environment in which all individuals are entitled to participate in any IEEE Computer Society activity free of discrimination. For this reason, the IEEE Computer Society is firmly committed to team compositions in all sponsored activities, including but not limited to, technical committees, steering committees, conference organizations, standards committees, and ad hoc committees that display Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.

IEEE Computer Society meetings, conferences and workshops must provide a welcoming, open and safe environment, that embraces the value of every person, regardless of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, religion, national origin, ancestry, or disability. All individuals are entitled to participate in any IEEE Computer Society activity free of discrimination, including harassment based on any of the above factors.

IEEE believes that science, technology, and engineering are fundamental human activities, for which openness, international collaboration, and the free flow of talent and ideas are essential. Its meetings, conferences, and other events seek to enable engaging, thought provoking conversations that support IEEE’s core mission of advancing technology for humanity. Accordingly, IEEE is committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment to all participants, including staff and vendors, at IEEE-related events.

IEEE has no tolerance for discrimination, harassment, or bullying in any form at IEEE-related events. All participants have the right to pursue shared interests without harassment or discrimination in an environment that supports diversity and inclusion. Participants are expected to adhere to these principles and respect the rights of others.

IEEE seeks to provide a secure environment at its events. Participants should report any behavior inconsistent with the principles outlined here, to on site staff, security or venue personnel, or to eventconduct@ieee.org
