NATECH Risk management and Resilience of High-TECH industries and Critical infrastructures across EUrope
NATECH Risk management and Resilience of High-TECH industries and Critical infrastructures across EUrope
The REUNATECH Doctoral Network is a programme that aims to educate and train highly qualified Doctoral Candidates in risk management and resilience for Critical Infrastructures (CI), High-Tech Industries (HTI), and communities across Europe. The programme’s goal is to safeguard them against NaTech (Natural Hazard Triggering Technological Accidents) events. This is achieved through advanced risk-resilience assessments, innovative technological developments, and synergistic training facilitated by collaboration platforms. The primary scientific objectives of REUNATECH include (1) developing a holistic framework for multi-hazard risk and resilience assessment, (2) creating predictive models for extreme flood and wind scenarios (inclusive of climate change effects), (3) crafting a resilience-oriented, physics-informed decision-making tool for HTI/CI through nearly real-time condition assessment, and (4) establishing a fully digital robust resilience framework to assess and quantify vulnerabilities within HTI/CI and neighbouring communities.
Rapid Multi-Risk Needs Evaluation and Planning Platform
Rapid Multi-Risk Needs Evaluation and Planning Platform
The EMERGE project is structured around an extended storyline of success, exemplified by the achievements of the pilot UCPM CRISIS project (101004830-UCPM-2020-PP-AG). As a further development of this effort, the EMERGE initiative aspires to extend the CRISIS platform into a platform for rapid needs assessment, a critical component of civil protection efforts in the aftermath of disasters. The purpose of such an assessment is to quickly estimate the needs of affected populations and to determine the most effective ways to provide aid and support. The proposed platform also aims to support first responders in achieving rapid and effective assistance, improving response speed and prioritization, as well as efficient regional resources and capacities coordination.
Engineering Research Infrastructures for European Synergies
Engineering Research Infrastructures for European Synergies
The ERIES project, together with the research infrastructure team assembled, provides access to leading experimental facilities that permit users to advance frontier knowledge and conduct curiosity-driven research towards: the reduction of losses and disruption due to these hazards; the management of their associated risk; and the development of innovative solutions to address them that will contribute to a greener and more sustainable society. It integrates the successful results and implementation of the past infrastructure projects, such as SERIES and SERA, and expands access capabilities to new communities and disciplines which were not yet focused on in past projects. Its anticipated outcome is to provide authoritative input for diverse stakeholders, from Civil Protection agencies to the European seismic building code; develop future standards for experimental techniques in earthquake, wind and geotechnical engineering; and provide a platform from which European researchers can develop innovative solutions and testbed applications of next-generation technologies.
Multi-hazard Infrastructure Risk Assessment for Climate Adaptation
Multi-hazard Infrastructure Risk Assessment for Climate Adaptation
There is an urgent need to adapt Europe’s critical infrastructure (CI) to our rapidly changing climate. Public authorities need support to enable them to pinpoint the locations of risks from climate change and develop affordable strategies to enhance infrastructure systems’ resilience. Existing methods for climate risk analysis are not tailored to the complexities of CI, because they do not properly account for systems interdependencies, as well as still containing key data gaps. The mission of the Multihazard Infrastructure Risk Assessment for Climate Adaptation (MIRACA) project is to catalyse and empower the implementation of adaptation measures for CI throughout Europe, by providing public authorities with a toolkit to take evidence-based decisions.
