On 15 October 2026, Meldkamerplein will host another knowledge session in Nieuwegein. This edition focuses on a highly relevant question: “Is the Netherlands ready for wartime sovereignty?”
Current geopolitical developments are creating new challenges for emergency control centres and control rooms. Advanced cyberattacks, disruptions to critical infrastructure and dependencies within supply chains can have a direct impact on operational continuity.
For organisations responsible for safety, infrastructure and critical processes, this raises fundamental questions. How vulnerable are IT and OT environments? What happens when international or local communication infrastructures fail? And how well prepared are organisations for prolonged disruption?
Meldkamerplein knowledge session
- Date: Thursday 15 October 2026
- Starting time: 15:30h
- Location: Nieuwegein
Resilience starts with insight
Continuity in a mission critical environment depends on more than technology alone. Processes, responsibilities, supply chain partners and the physical working environment must also be prepared for disruption.
That is why risks should not be assessed in isolation, but as part of one connected system. A control room may be technically well designed, yet still remain vulnerable if dependencies elsewhere in the chain are not fully understood.
During the knowledge session, experts and industry professionals will explore these interdependencies. Through current insights, practical examples and interactive discussions, participants will examine where the main vulnerabilities lie and what organisations can do to strengthen their resilience.
Sharing knowledge through Meldkamerplein
CREON is a partner of Meldkamerplein, a collaborative network in which organisations from different disciplines share knowledge and experience related to emergency control centres and control rooms.
For CREON, the theme connects directly to an important principle in the design of mission critical working environments: continuity needs to be considered from the start. Not only in terms of technology and workspace design, but across the complete environment in which operators perform their work.
