The Eu Horizon 2020 Proposal “Resilient Europe”: Towards a Common Resilient Future

Abstract eng:
“Resilient Europe” is a project proposal, still under evaluation, submitted at the EU HORIZON 2020 Work Programme 2016-2017, Call SEC-01-DRS-2016 “Integrated tools for response planning and scenario building”. It addresses all the priorities, with particular focus on cultural heritage and built environment, in order to improve research/innovation effectiveness, respond to key societal challenges, and enhance in-depth cooperation (set up in previous projects) among EU consortium partners (and 1 non-EU notable participant). “Resilient Europe” is centred on the resilience assessment with a comprehensive approach (safety, robustness, adaptive capacity, stability, sustainability, conservation), devoted to the urgent need for building up a common resilient culture, based on a reliable chain between science, humanities, public engagement, political decisions, first responders. Different fields will interact by transferring recent results from a discipline to another, integrating research, mitigation and governance. To provide a step ahead, the main objectives are to: play the concept of multi-hazard disaster scenarios; evaluate the system overall resilience; provide a reliable/exhaustive description of selected paradigmatic World Heritage Sites; carry out effective actions regarding risk mitigation tightly linked to communication. As it is frustrating to face in an exhaustive way the ocean of questions dealing with multi-hazard and resilience, a realistic methodology, positively tested in previous researches, will be applied: the actions will walk through representative real case studies, but by following a holistic approach, identifying tangible solutions to offer to the communities involved. Accordingly, remarkable case studies have been selected, in order to reach prompt results for emblematic and valuable targets. In addition to advanced scientific investigations, specific activities involving Civil Protection organisations, experts in risk management and preservation of environment/heritage as well as concerned people (citizens, young generations of scientists, students, tourists, etc.) are planned, to strengthen the culture of awareness/prevention towards well-being communities. In situ/lab investigations, digitised inventories/frameworks, augmented reality architectures, models of human behaviour in the emergency, Serious Games Prototypes are also foreseen.
