WORK PACKAGES

SPARROW is a 36-month project organised into 7 Work Packages

Work Package 1

Project, Administrative and Technical Management

To improve resilience against digital breakdown crises by co-creating a preparedness and response operational framework with relevant stakeholders (civil protection, citizens, local/regional authorities, crisis managers, etc) considering gaps, policies, previous lessons learned and best practices.

Work Package 2

Participatory co-designed SPARROW architecture

To develop novel technologies for emergency communication and collaborative preparedness through co-design activities with citizens, academics, SSH-experts, private sector and public authorities.

Work Package 3

Digital breakdown resilience framework

To enhance crisis communication, collaborative preparedness, training and prevention planning of Civil Protection, private sector, critical infrastructures risk operators, regional/local authorities and citizens.

Work Package 4

Dynamic, robust & interoperable emergency communication system

To evaluate SPARROW Tools & Methodologies for providing realistic digital breakdown resilience, through the validation over a series of planned Lab Tests, Table Top Exercises (TTX) & Field Trials Exercises (FTX) with the active engagement

Work Package 5

SPARROW platform for collaborative preparedness training & response planning

To assess feasibility of adoption and design viable pathways for EU wide uptake of SPARROW solutions in civil protection plans for crisis preparedness.

Work Package 6

SPARROW technology validation through table top exercises & field trials

To improve resilience against digital breakdown crises by co-creating a preparedness and response operational framework with relevant stakeholders (civil protection, citizens, local/regional authorities, crisis managers, etc) considering gaps, policies, previous lessons learned and best practices.

Work Package 7

Dissemination, communication, exploitation and impact creation pathways

To improve resilience against digital breakdown crises by co-creating a preparedness and response operational framework with relevant stakeholders (civil protection, citizens, local/regional authorities, crisis managers, etc) considering gaps, policies, previous lessons learned and best practices.

OBJECTIVES

SPARROW orchestrates large datasets and expert insights to create a dynamic digital twin of a city, which will become a robust testing ground for assessing vulnerabilities and preparing for diverse crisis scenarios.

VIEW OBJECTIVES

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
