Fraunhofer Institute for Technological Trend Analysis INTSmartResilience – Smart Resilience Indicators for Smart Critical Infrastructures
Client: EU – under the 8th Framework Programme – Horizon 2020
Coordinator: European Virtual Institute for Integrated Risk Management (EU-VRi)
Consortium: 20 partners from 12 countries
Term: 36 months, Start: May 2016
Budget: EU support € ~ 5 Mio., share Fraunhofer INT € ~ 307,000
Objective: The society needs a system of resilience management going beyond conventional risk management, in order to address the complexities of large integrated systems and the uncertainty of future threats. In modern society the systems that determine resilience of the society are the critical infrastructures (energy grids, transportation, government, water, etc.)
SmartResilience aims to provide an innovative “holistic” methodology for assessing resilience that is based on resilience indicators. SmartResilience specific objectives are:
INT Tasks: The tasks of INT in the project include:
Analysis of existing approaches on measuring resilience of critical infrastructures
Analysis of legal, political and organizational context factors
Lead the work package on “Challenges and interdependencies of Smart Critical Infrastructures”
Analysis of resilience and possible protection measures against High Power Microwave (HPM) threats. This analysis is conducted within the INT business unit “Electromagnetic Effects and Threats”.
