06/11/19 16:56 posted by Vassilis Papataxiarhis
The 2nd Plenary Meeting of the project RESILOC will be held in Athens between 19th and 21st of November, 2019. This 3-day event will take place in the premises of the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications (DIT) located at the UoA campus. During the event, the project partners will focus on a wide range of aspects related to the Resilience concept for local European communities. The user requirements elicitation will also be addressed. The Plenary Meeting will be co-located with the 1st meeting of the Project Advisory Board where external experts are invited to participate.

Resilience is defined by the United Nations as ???the ability to resist, absorb and accommodate to the effects of a hazard, in a timely and efficient manner???. Thus, resilient communities are those in which their citizens, environment, businesses, and infrastructures have the capacity to withstand, adapt, and recover in a timely manner from any kind of hazards they face, either planned or unplanned. In recent years efforts have been spent to tackle resilience and there is, still, a long path forward in defining an EU valid and sound approach to the problem. RESILOC aims at studying and implementing a holistic framework of studies, methods and software instruments that combines the physical with the less tangible aspects associated with human behaviour. The study-oriented section of the framework will move from a thorough collection and analysis of literature and stories from the many approaches to resilience adopted all over the World. The results of the studies will lead to the definition of a set of new methods and strategies where the assessment of the resilience indicators of a community will be performed together with simulations on the ???what-if??? certain measures are taken. These studies and methods will serve for designing and implementing two software instruments: 1. the RESILOC inventory, a comprehensive, live, structure for collecting, classifying and using information on cities and local communities, implemented as a Software as a Service (SaaS). 2. The RESILOC Cloud-based platform for assessing and calculating the resilience indicators of a city or a community, for developing localised strategies and verifying their impacts on the resilience of the community. The Cloud platform, a combination of SaaS and PaaS, includes the inventory as its repository. The p-comp group participates in RESILOC as W P leader for the field trials. The project will make use of built solutions in four field trials and includes a high-profile communication plan, heavily based on Social Media platforms.

The Kick-off meeting of the RESILOC project took place in Frankfurt, on 12th and 13th of June, 2019. RESILOC aims at studying and implementing a holistic framework of studies, methods and software instruments that combines the physical with the less tangible aspects associated with human behaviour. UoA participates in RESILOC as a WP leader for the field trials. RESILOC has started the 1st of June 2019, its duration is set at 36 months of work and will therefore end in 2022.
