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.

<< Objectives >>The program aims to foster the rights of individuals of older age (under skilled, living in remote areas, phasing mobility difficulties, migrants) to access information and lifelong learning and enjoy the right of participation in everyday society as independent citizens, through digitally active ageing. This is facilitated with the use of libraries networks, as their role is changing to a digital information and services hub, due to the accelerated digital transformation of the post COVID era.<< Implementation >>Library staff, and adult educators (formal or non-formal) will take part in training, to support them in providing online e-courses to senior learners in their areas. Through these courses, older people will be empowered to make full use of the fantastic range of library services available online and receive the full benefit of inclusion. In addition, senior learners will become confident to independently use a range of digital public and commercial services.<< Results >>DSSI aims to develop an open platform for a curriculum of free online training on how to use the internet and access digital library and public services for remote users of an older age, that are digitally under skilled and feel left out. It will also develop a complete an Educator’s Tool kit. A Road Map for additional organizations related to adult education that may desire to set up the DSSI training and support program, even as a face to face help centre.
