Doctoral Network for reSilience exPeRts IN future larGe-scale critical infrastructures

Project description

Training in the design of resilience for critical infrastructure

The impact of climate change and both climate and man-made disasters has led to an increasing interest in the development and maintenance of resilient cyber-physical systems capable of remaining online during emergencies and enabling the operation of critical infrastructures. Unfortunately, the complex and in-depth nature of these needs, as well as the increasing danger of climate change, has led to a problematic situation. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the SPRING project will develop a research and training programme in the design of resilience for critical entities, equipping 15 doctoral candidates with the skills and expertise needed to create and advance resilient solutions for critical infrastructures.

Objective

The project aims to develop an innovative research and training programme to prepare next generation experts in critical entities resilience design. Fifteen doctoral candidates will collectively engage in an ambitious interdisciplinary research project focusing on aspects related to the resilience design, real-time monitoring and control, anomaly detection and isolation, and incident response, in geographically distributed systems of cyber-physical systems. The PhD topics will investigate open research questions about the use of systems and control theory, formal methods, explainable AI, data-driven approaches, and human-centered design to build safe and resilient societal-scale critical entities. The project will also promote industrial excellence by offering opportunities to the researchers for testing their tools and frameworks in real-world scenarios, provided by the industrial partners. In this line, industrial partners will provide scenarios focusing on water, energy and transportation services, inspired by a real deployment using state-of-the-art and innovative IoT components. The research outcomes that will be validated in the context of these use cases will be reusable with other critical entities in other sectors.
