RESIST - Final Newsletter

Newsletter N°6 - July 2022

RESIST Final Event

The RESIST final event took place on Friday, 24th June 2022 as an online event. 

It was organised to reach a wide audience, relevant and important stakeholders and enhance the impact of the results. The consortium partners presented the innovative technologies developed within the project, like the RESIST Platform and Integration Environment, the Aerial robots and Ground Control Station, the Structural Vulnerability Assessment, the Mobility Continuity module and more, as well as the project’s pilot demonstrations’ outcomes.

During the event, the participants had the opportunity to learn about the achievements of the project, the components, and the validation of the RESIST system. The final event was organised by FEHRL and ICCS with contributions from the whole consortium and it was divided into 3 sessions:

• Session 1: Welcome and general introduction -  Introduction by the Project Officer (CINEA), the project coordinator (ICCS) and the Dissemination Manager (FEHRL), providing an overview of the project’s concept
• Session 2: RESIST Innovations Presentations on the innovations developed in the project, in terms of key functionalities and added value to the overall goal  
• Session 3: RESIST System Validation and Results Analysis of the outcomes extracted by the two pilot demonstrations conducted in Greece and Italy and their outcomes. 

In total, 50 people from over 10 countries participated in the RESIST Final Event, providing positive feedback. All presentations from the final event have been uploaded in the RESIST project’s website and can be downloaded from here. The recording of the event is also available here.
