The SPARROW platform represents a pioneering solution for enhancing societal resilience and crisis management in the face of digital breakdowns. Employing a modular architecture encompassing data integration, simulation modeling, and a collaborative platform, SPARROW orchestrates large datasets and expert insights to create a dynamic digital twin of a city. This digital twin, visualized in 3D, becomes a robust testing ground for assessing vulnerabilities and preparing for diverse crisis scenarios. Through a participatory approach involving citizens, local authorities, and first responders, the platform fosters communication during breakdowns and bolsters preparedness against digital threats. SPARROW's innovative tools, including the Emergency Communication Mobile App (ECOMAPP), City Digital Twin (CITWIN), and the Dynamic Critical Asset Management Recommendation Engine (DYCAMARE), are co-designed with stakeholders to ensure user-friendly, effective, and ethically sound functionalities. The platform's impact extends across various sectors, from critical infrastructure managers optimizing maintenance to emergency responders utilizing a mobile 5G network (EMER-5G) for prioritized communication (ECOPRIM). In alignment with EU policies, SPARROW aims to enhance crisis communication, bridge gaps in digital breakdown preparedness, and contribute to a secure and resilient European way of life.

Smart cities have frontline responsibility to ensure a secure and safe physical and digital ecosystem promoting cohesive and sustainable urban development for the well being of EU citizens. S4AllCities integrates advanced technological and organizational solutions in a market oriented unified Cyber – Physical Security Management framework, aiming at raising the resilience of cities’ infrastructures, services, ICT systems, IoT and fostering intelligence and information sharing among city’s security stakeholders. Three pilot cases, with the engagement of a total of 5 cities in 4 countries (Spain, Romania, Czech Republic, Greece), enable S4ALLCITIES System of Systems to deploy and validate its intelligent components and functionalities on actual environment, ensuring the delivery of solutions and services in line with smart cities emerging requirements, focused on: risk-based open smart spaces security management; cyber security shielding; suspicious activity and behaviour tracking; identification of unattended objects; real-time estimation of cyber-physical risks in multiple locations and measures activation for effective crisis management. S4ALLCities smart components, integrated within 3 Digital Twin Systems, will demonstrate their technological advances in tackling terrorist attacks with high risk for mass casualties, within the complex environment of open crowded spaces. The multidisciplinary consortium (9 EU countries) will exploit project’s innovative technological systems in the global market providing a cost efficient and market ready integrated solution. S4ALLCities exploitation phase will promote good practices and guidance material across EU cities so as to enhance capacity building of involved stakeholders, reduce the vulnerabilities of public spaces, mitigate the consequences of adversary attacks, raise public awareness and strike a balance between improving security and preserving the open nature of public spaces as well as citizens’ sense of freedom.

"Den-Cupid consortium consists of eight partners with diverse but complementary background in the field of cultural heritage management including Universities, SMEs, cultural associations, authority representatives and other stakeholders. Among others, the joint activities included the conduction of three transnational project meetings, where the partners established their functional cooperation schema, decided on the strategic pathways to be followed throughout the project, monitored the project evolution and took any mitigation measures whenever needed. One main axis of the project was the conduction of four international educational workshops in equal European host-countries, with over 70 participants in total. Experienced trainers guided the workshop discussions in order to present both in theory and in practice major cultural heritage managerial issues, provide well-structured cultural projects for local authorities or private stakeholders, highlight the best practices on cultural sustainability and explore the process of ultimately receiving funding for a future cultural project. The interaction with and among the trainees in those physical meetings was beneficial to both ends, as on one hand the trainers could effectively showcase invaluable insights based on their working experience and on the other hand the trainees could identify future collaboration frameworks and extend their perspectives individually or organizational wide. The main results of the project, which are openly available, may be concluded as follows; A) The proposition of a training methodology for any interested party in the cultural heritage management sector, B) The collection of valuable training material to be used as a guide for further development, C) The provision of a benchmark-type and needs' assessment educational survey of the participant countries, D) The showcase of four real-life cultural scenarios, where a significant number of different stakeholders is profiled and may inspire future relative activities, E) The provision of a collaborative electronic educational platform as a tool to establish new cooperation, receive mentoring from expert individuals, promote entrepreneurial mentality, improve skills and competencies, exchange insights and ideas.The above results were disseminated by all partners, mostly by the participating networks, through the participation in national and international cultural conferences and workshops, via the integrated project channels and by any bilateral networking initiated within the range of the project. In a few words, the legacy of the project may be concluded as a ""one-stop-shop"" for any interested stakeholder involved in the world of cultural heritage management to receive insights for competency improvement."

ELABORATOR uses a holistic approach for planning, designing, implementing and deploying specific innovations and interventions towards safe, inclusive and sustainable urban mobility. These interventions, consist of smart enforcement tools, space redesign and dynamic allocation, shared services, and integration of active and green modes of transportation. They will be specifically co-designed and co-created with identified vulnerable to exclusion user groups, local authorities and relevant stakeholders. The interventions will be demonstrated in 6 Lighthouse and 6 Follower cities across Europe with three principal aims: i) to collect, assess and analyse user needs and requirements towards a safe and inclusive mobility and climate neutral cities; ii) to collect and share rich information sets made of real data, traces from dedicated toolkits, users and stakeholders opinions among the cities, so as to increase the take up of the innovations via a twinning approach and iii) to generate detailed guidelines, policies, future roadmap and built capacity for service providers, planning authorities and urban designers for the optimum integration of such inclusive and safe mobility interventions into Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs). The Lighthouse cities are: Milan (Italy), Copenhagen (Denmark), Helsinki (Finland), Issy-les-Moulineaux (France), Zaragoza (Spain) and Trikala (Greece). The Follower cities are Lund (Sweden), Liberec (Czech Republic), Velejne (Slovenia), Ioannina (Greece), Split (Croatia) and Krusevac (Serbia).
