For SPARROW, building resilience means bridging innovation with the real needs of cities and communities, fostering meaningful citizen engagement, and ensuring that research translates into practical value for those on the front line.

Throughout the event, we look forward to engaging with inspiring initiatives, sharing our work, and building synergies with other projects and European partners committed to strengthening resilience across Europe.

We are also delighted to see SPARROW featured in the book Research and Community Building for Disaster Resilient Societies – A European Perspective, authored by Philippe Quevauviller , Cristina Longo, and Giannis Skiadaresis, highlighting ongoing European efforts to advance disaster-resilient societies.

In addition, SPARROW is proud to be featured in the Art Science Exploration event. Through performances combining music, dance, theatre, photography, and literature, this initiative shows that resilience is not only built through science and technology, but also through culture, creativity, and community engagement. It is a strong reminder of the importance of a truly “whole-of-society” approach.

We look forward to inspiring discussions, new collaborations, and to contributing to shared efforts to build more resilient, inclusive, and prepared communities across Europe.

– SPARROW TTX in Cyprus
A high-impact Tabletop Exercise was successfully delivered in Cyprus under the SPARROW Project framework, focusing on complex, multi-layered crisis scenarios involving multiple cascading disasters affecting the Vasilikos Energy Centre—one of the country’s most critical energy hubs.

The exercise brought together the full spectrum of national authorities, critical infrastructure operators, and key stakeholders, reinforcing a whole-of-system approach to crisis management.

With the presence of the Director General of the Ministry of Energy and the Director General of the Cyprus Employers & Industrialists Federation, the exercise highlighted the importance of public–private coordination in managing large-scale, interconnected disruptions across sectors.

As the scenarios evolved, SPARROW tools and technologies were applied in a dynamic environment, enabling real-time interaction with end-users and capturing valuable feedback from frontline professionals involved in crisis prevention and response.

➡️ More to follow on key insights and outcomes.
