WORK PACKAGES
SPARROW is a 36-month project organised into 7 Work Packages
THE CONCEPT
The fundamental concept driving SPARROW is the orchestration of extensive multi-source data, insights from past experiences, and expert opinions (bottom). These elements fuel a wide range of simulation tools, dynamically modelling realistic digital breakdown scenarios to comprehensively assess the vulnerabilities of a city and the underlying infrastructures
