Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The Critical Infrastructure Preparedness and Resilience Research Network or CIPRNet establishes a Network of Excellence in Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) R&D for a wide range of stakeholders including (multi)national emergency management, critical infrastructure (CI) operators, policy makers, and the society. CIPRNet builds a long-lasting, durable virtual centre of shared and integrated knowledge and expertise in CIP and CI MS&A (Modelling, Simulation and Analysis) by integrating part of the resources of the CIPRNet partners and their R&D activities acquired in more than 50 EU co-funded projects. This centre will form the foundation for the European Infrastructures Simulation & Analysis Centre (EISAC) by 2020. CIPRNet will strengthen and structure the European Research Area on CIP by using its network to outreach and link isolated research kernels and adjacent R&D areas. Activities include training and the ‘ask the CIPRNet expert’ service to find and access the right pockets of CIP expertise in Europe. Moreover, CIPRNet enhances the resilience of CI in Europe by improving the knowledge and understanding, preparation and mitigation of CI disruptions and their consequences. The CIPRNet Joint Programme of Activities (JPA) integrates and makes complementary use of CIP and related knowledge, expertise, and resources (e.g., tools, methods, top experts and other staff) of the partners. The JPA forms the stepping stone for the development of the long-lasting cooperation and integration of R&D activities of the partners. The European CIP innovation process is boosted as substantial resources are integrated and focussed on the creation of added-value decision-support capabilities for (multi)national emergency management and CI owners. These capabilities provide timely, actionable, risk-informed CIP analyses and strategies that support the preparation for, response to, and recovery from major CI disruptions. The interest in CIPRNet is shown by 24 letters of support.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
An EU team is protecting critical European infrastructures by supporting stakeholders. After a needs analysis, the team specified a system for conducting hypothetical simulations of cross-border emergencies, which also provides decision support.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Protection of critical infrastructures (CIs) is an important security issue for both the EU and its Member States. Hence, the European Commission issued a Directive fostering implementation of necessary measures across Europe.
The EU-funded project http://www.ciprnet.eu (CIPRNET) (Critical infrastructure preparedness and resilience research network) promotes a network of excellence in critical infrastructure protection (CIP). The 12-member consortium also enhances resilience of CIs by improving understanding of the consequences of disruption. A major aim is to provide support from CI researchers to stakeholders, including emergency responders and governments, regarding such consequences. The project will also develop a set of new analysis tools and support capabilities for national and multinational emergency management. In order to consolidate the capabilities, a virtual centre of competence and expertise in CIP will be developed. The four-year undertaking closes in early 2017.
A kick-off meeting in early 2013 established the project's governing boards and committees, which provided relevant input, including ethical and legal standards.
Researchers collected diverse information concerning available CIP methods and data sources, forming a database for a resource integration strategy. Next, team members questioned stakeholders about their requirements for the proposed new capabilities. Results were evaluated and summarised.
The consortium specified the conceptual architecture and technical requirements for its 'what if' analysis and simulation capability. Work involved defining and documenting a pertinent multi-nation cross-border emergency scenario. Relevant data were incorporated into a geographic information system.
A decision-support system was similarly defined and documented. Its key elements include threat forecasting and consequence analysis.
Project work has yielded two edited books, several peer-reviewed journal papers and four issues of a CIP newsletter. Other outcomes include the organisation of conferences and other gatherings, plus training events.
The CIPRNET project has developed new capabilities in cross-border emergency management and preparedness. That will mean shorter interruption to CIs and reduced follow-on social effects.
