Abstract	Submarine cables, both for data and power transmission, constitute the hidden backbone of digital and energy interconnectivity. As global infrastructures, they link continents, economies, and political regions, yet their routes, ownership structures, and strategic significance often remain opaque. On October 2, 2025, the critical infrastructure lab and Milan Babic organised a Submarine Cable Workshop at the University of Amsterdam to develop a shared research agenda on submarine cables.
