Information about the research project SARIL and workshop(s) on "Pathway(s) to reach Joint Vision”

Purpose

The SARIL project is part of the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101103978, included in the call "HORIZON-CL5-2022-D6-02-07 - New concepts and approaches for resilient and green freight transport and logistics networks against disruptive events (including pandemics)". The project is a collaboration between several European countries with partners from research, business, associations and authorities working with logistics. The project will develop holistic methodologies and tools for enabling infrastructure managers to assess the resilience of logistics networks and improve them to ensure appropriate ‘green resilience’ when expanding the infrastructure. And by providing logistics stakeholders with information about disruptions to assist in making the right decisions about moving cargo, evaluating and developing new mitigation measures, employing simulations to predict their effectiveness.  This project will focus on these solutions, by employing and developing three disruptive scenarios: Flooding and cyberattacks (Regional, Northern Italy), wildfires (National, Spain and Portugal) and pandemic and war (EU wide). In developing these scenarios, and for understanding among others risks, data availability and handling strategies of these disruptions, we wish to have workshops with relevant stakeholders connected to these three scenarios in their respective regions. 

Who is responsible for the research project?

The stakeholder involvement of the project is coordinated by the Mobility Department at SINTEF Community. But will collaborate with Port of Vigo, University of Vigo and CEMOSA in Spain, SIEC BADAWCZA LUKASIEWICZ - POZNANSKI INSTYTUT TECHNOLOGICZNY in Poland, Politecnico di Milano, AIPo in Italy, Fraunhofer EMI in Germany, Rangel in Portugal, and CSL in Poland (all partners of the project) for the collection, storage and processing of data in the respective countries. These institutions will have shared treatment responsibilities. 

Why have you been included in the study? 

You are asked to participate because you work as an infrastructure manager in transport or as a logistics stakeholder, stakeholder dependent on transport, or other stakeholder in the transport system, such as an association connected to these topics/system. Your contact information, was obtained from websites or via the project partners or advisory board of SARIL. 

What does the project mean for you?

Participation in this workshop means to partake in discussions about a data platform to handle disruptions, data sharing, data available, monitoring infrastructure and more. The workshop takes about three 2,5 hours, as informed in the invitation, and will be online. Several of the partners will be present to also present the project and preliminary results.
