The crises that marked the first decades of the 21st century, in addition to being broad-spectrum and of different origins, also show a trend of exponential frequency and intensity, with dramatic consequences for society, the state and the economy. COVID19 stood out especially among them, shaking the foundations of the already fragile world political and economic order. In addition to being probably "the last call to the world to wake up", COVID19 has the potential to transform into an existential crisis. What makes individuals, organizations and states "good" in crisis management is not only an attractive topic for discussion, but, above all, a question of crucial importance for the future in the world of "crisis as normal" towards which we are moving at a certain pace.

The video conference is a unique international event that brings together eminent experts from the region with the aim of exchanging experiences in today's risk and crisis management. The results of the conference should serve strategic (political), local, but also organizational actors as a guide for the development and implementation of sectoral policies and implementation of concrete actions, in order to strengthen resilience in the strategic and operational environment.
