General information
- Short Summary
- Coordinator: French SME, crisis platforms and decision support. Objective: co-develop capabilities to detect cascading risks early, analyze faster, and coordinate cross-border; fuse ops with data; test interdependencies. Partners: EU/assoc. CI ops (energy, water, health, transport, telecom), regulators/cyber agencies/city resilience, civil protection, law enforcement/private CI security. Role: co-define needs, join pilots, provide scenarios/data/feedback, support uptake.
- Full Description
- Overview and why Modern utilities (energy, water, transport, telecoms) are tightly connected. A disturbance in one can cascade into others and across borders. Data is fragmented, and coordination is hard under time pressure. Our project will research and develop practical, standards-based capabilities that: - builds a shared, cross-sector operational picture from selected operational data and open geospatial sources, - runs tests to anticipate knock-on effects, and - offers explainable decision support and alerting for multi-agency/multi-jurisdiction response. With whom A core consortium of industrial and academic partners from France, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, and Greece (crisis platforms, Earth observation, AI/analytics, risk modelling, exercises and human factors). We are now adding security practitioners to co-design, test and validate. Programme framework Horizon Europe, Cluster 3 (Civil Security for Society), topic HORIZON-CL3-2025-01-INFRA-01 (Innovation Action). Proposal submission planned November 2025; project start expected mid-2026, subject to EU evaluation. Timescale: Planned 36 months. Type and role of partners sought - CI operators: operational processes, incident handling, safe data provision (non-sensitive or synthetic where needed), site access for table-tops/drills, evaluation of decision-support outputs. - Resilience authorities: risk and regulatory context, inter-agency procedures, data-sharing constraints, validation of cross-border workflows. - Civil protection: exercise planning, evacuation/protected-route logistics, public messaging, after-action reviews. - Law enforcement / private security: traffic control, convoy escort, public order, cyber incident cooperation, misinformation counter-measures, and communications. - All partners help shape scenarios, define KPIs, test prototypes, and contribute to lessons learned and uptake plans.
- Advantages and Innovations
- 1. EU- based capabilities 2. Federated, privacy-preserving set-up 3. Stress testing of interdependencies 4. Explainable decision support 5. Standards-first interoperability 6. Practitioner-led validation
- Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
- - EU or associated country organisation; ability to sign an NDA and a Horizon Europe Grant Agreement if selected - Potential actor of complex crisis scenarios - Appoint a single point of contact and a small core team (operational lead + technical contact) - Willingness to take part in requirements workshops, table-top exercises, pilot activities, and structured evaluations (surveys/interviews) - Ability to share non-sensitive operational data, de-identified samples, or synthetic data; alternatively to provide expert ground truth and process descriptions if real data cannot be shared - Readiness to contribute to dissemination and exploitation (non-confidential case stories, policy inputs, standardisation feedback)
