Stronger S.r.l. is a Spin-off Company (Small Medium Enterprise) that works as alink between the Academia and the Industry in Civil and Environmental Engineering.

The Company offers high-profile tools and methodologies that lead to structuresthat fulfill required performances under a resilience and sustainability point ofview.

With resilience it is intended the capacity of a system (intended as an aggregate ofinterconnected elements such as structures and infrastructures) to resist negativeevents (either of natural, accidental or exceptional origin), while at the same time, itmaintains an acceptable level of service and integrity and the capacity to reorganizein an efficient manner.

With sustainability it is intended the requirement that leads to a rational use ofresources, direction of investments, technological and normative progress, with thefuture needs of the society, as well as those current.

ABSTRACT OF THE WORK PROGRAMME

The following technology-specific challenges have to be addressed in 2014:Wind energy: Develop control strategies and innovative substructure concepts - There is a need for i) control strategies and systems for new and/or large rotors and wind farms (on-and offshore); ii) new innovative substructure concepts, including floating platforms, to reduce production, installation and O&M costs for water depths of more than 50m.

In 2015:Wind energy: Substantially reduce the costs of wind energy -There is a need for innovative integrated dedicated offshore systems (e.g. with a significant lower mass per unit power installed) to reduce production, installation and O&M costs for water depths of more than 50m.

Methods should focus on long-term climate change and extreme events for European sectors of particular socio-economic and environmental significance, paying due consideration to uncertainty, and encompass indirect, cross-sectorial effects and cascade impacts, if relevant. - Provide state-of-the-art decision support tools tailored to facilitate decision-making by different end-users (e.g. individuals, businesses, private sector firms, local authorities, governments), while developing adaptation plans and measures.

DRS-13-2015: Critical Infrastructure Protection topic 2: Demonstration activity on … Comprehensive approach should be developed that take into account the security issue from the conceptual design of any building to its operation (in the case of a critical infrastructure) or use (in the case of households). Cascade failure of interconnected infrastructure assets (installations for energy, transport, water, ICT) due to co-location or hub-functions needs to be avoided. The comparison of different solutions tested should include cost and cost/benefit analyses, and societal implications The proposal shall develop methods and tools for adapting building and infrastructure standards and design methodologies (…). Furthermore the research proposal shall demonstrate its finding, taking into account the occurrence of different types of natural (climate or geological) hazards, and including comparative cost and cost/benefit analyses. The topic will complement Seventh Framework Programme research focusing on impacts of extreme weather on critical infrastructure.

The methodology shall be based on at least four types of critical infrastructure as test cases. Specific models and modeling approaches will be proposed(..). security metrics and indicators will be proposed that could be used in the developed models to quantify to the possible extent the considered risk and impact as well as give guidance to the possible mitigation techniques – approaches. New methods of assessing resilience based upon comprehensive threat, criticality, and vulnerability assessments are of outmost importance. Proposals should follow a uniformed comprehensive and holistic approach at all levels (e.g. EU, country, local) (….) .
