WP1 Project Mangement:

The scope of WP1 is to define the project management structure as well as the rules that ensure the coordination and management of RESILOC. It will report to the EC and implement risk management and quality management.
Additionally, the WP is designated to generate the provisions for collecting the feedback and input from external experts from the Advisory Board on the strategic level.
Responsible Partner: Fraunhofer

WP2 Comparative analysis of resilience in societies and communities:

The objective of this WP is to organise the collection of information about the approaches to resilience adopted in literature and in ongoing initiatives and to derive definitions and classification that can help in organising data. The goals are to identify a method for classifying the elements contributing to the assessment of resilience and the comparative analysis of statuses, strategies and actions in any kind of environment (cities, regions, rural settlements…). Furthermore WP2 will elaborate a tool for the evaluation of resilience of communities involved by means of self-assessment.
Responsible Partner: TIHR

WP3 New strategies for Improving Resilience:

WP3 will study and define relations and algorithms for expressing the qualifying indicators for resilience as combination of measurable and self-assessable categories. The result of the WP will be a set of specifications for the RESILOC platform, along with the validation by the users of the resilience indicators and matrix.
Responsible Partner: WNRI

WP4 Implementation of RESILOC platform:

WP4 objectives are linked to provide RESILOC adapted tools as well as a new cloud based RESILOC Platform that will support, during the project, the Consortium in manage and populate the RESILOC inventory and the tool to measure local resilience in the pilots. After the project the datastore and the platform will be available in the public domain. The main deliverables of the WP will be the implemented RESILOC inventory and the RESILOC Platform.
Responsible Partner: IES Solutions

WP5 Communities involvement and field trials:

The aim of WP5 is to create and expand stable links with the local communities that are involved in the validation of the results from WP3 and WP4, and later participate to the field trials; as well as to design, execute and validate the results of the 4 planned field trials (in Catania – Italy, Achaia – Greece, Bergen – Norway and a rural settlement in Bulgaria).
Responsible Partner: NKUA

WP6 Communication:

WP6 implements the communication strategy of the projects. The flow of information and results from the other WPs will be funnelled into this WP for producing valuable, simple, clear and tailored communication material for each group.
Responsible Partner: RAN

WP7 Recommendations on strategies for Improving Resilience:

WP7 objectives are to consolidate all the results from the research, innovation and communication WPs into a set of reports about the results from the use of the indicators and the RESILOC platform in the trials.
Responsible Partner: ISIG

WP8 Dissemination & Exploitation:

This WP combines the dissemination of the results, the identification of exploitation and business opportunities and the release of a standardisation document about the resilience indicators defined in the other WPs. Besides that, two international workshops will be organised at mid-project and at the end of the project. A separate line of work will focus on the identifications of the benefits for the society that are a major driver for policy makers when called to decide if embracing resilience and the RESILOC approach to measure and improve it.
Responsible Partner: Fraunhofer

WP9 Ethics requirements:

The objective is to ensure compliance with the ‘ethics requirements’ set out in this work package.

RA 2 - General

Catania – Validation Workshops


The goal of the research activity is to collect and evaluate the results of the three workshops of phase one. This will be carried out through a questionnaire (Validation tool 1.1) that is organised in two parts (10 questions in total).

The first section evaluates the relevance/applicability of DIP (dimensions, indicators and  proxies) in the context of Catania.

The second section collects feedback on the role of scenarios as a tool for testing the validity of the DIP system and collects information on the clarity and understanding of the data gathering process. You are asked to receive and complete the questionnaire submitted by the Local Training Lead, returning it back by email before and no later than Monday 07/02/2022.

The RESILOC research team will use the answers you provide to further refine the development of the resilience tool that aims to improve the resilience of local communities.

RA1 - Overview Catania

Catania - Workshops on Dimensions, Indicators and Proxies


The workshop will be a mixed meeting, with both in-person and remote participants, and led by the Local Training Lead. The Local Training Lead will introduce the participants to the theoretical framework developed.

This activity will be performed via a PowerPoint presentation that aims to explain the scientific/research framework of RESILOC, introducing the DIP database and the logic behind it. During the presentation, the Local Training Lead will explore participants views, in particular on the approach of using dimensions, indicators and proxies to capture the resilience of a community; this will be done through dedicated Q&A sessions during specific moments of the workshop.

The purpose is to make the representatives of the Municipality and the LRT members able to evaluate the applicability of the framework in terms of relevance, feasibility, data availability, among others for the community of Catania.
