Call for Participation

We cordially invite you to join MARESEC 2025, the 5th European Workshop on Maritime Systems Resilience and Security, taking place 21-22 May 2025 in Rostock, Germany, as a hybrid event.

Experience two days of maritime innovation and exchange, featuring: 

  • 2 inspiring keynotes by Fabian Bannasch (EvoLogics) and Sascha Kosleck (University of Rostock) on subsea innovations and resilient engineering
  • 1 expert panel discussion on the path toward collaborative maritime autonomy: scaling from single vessels to integrated fleets
  • 10 technical sessions presenting novel technologies and AI applications, exploring system dependability and security, and addressing legal and societal dimensions of future maritime systems

See the full program overview here.

Registration is free of charge. Register here.

We look forward to your participation and to welcoming you in Rostock!

Welcome

The 5th European Workshop on Maritime Systems Resilience and Security (MARESEC 2025) is dedicated to the research on resilience, security, technology and related ethical, legal, and social aspects in the context of maritime systems, including but not restricted to (offshore/onshore) infrastructures, navigation and shipping, and autonomous systems. The intention of this workshop is to bring together researchers to present new results and ongoing projects as well as to exchange experiences and explore possible collaborations.

The workshop will be held in the Konrad-Zuse Building of the Institute of Computer Science, University of Rostock, (Albert-Einstein-Straße 22, 18059 Rostock, Germany) from May 21 to 22, 2025.

The workshop's focus includes, but is not limited to the following areas and topics.

Maritime security technologies

  • Active imaging
  • Cyber-security
  • Sensors and instruments
  • Multi-sensor networks
  • Situational awareness
  • Technology testing

Data analysis and intelligent systems

  • Underwater imaging & computer vision
  • Machine learning / artificial intelligence
  • Autonomous vehicles and systems
  • Digital twins and data infrastructures

Resilience, safety, and security

  • Resilience engineering and metrics
  • Safety assessment and engineering
