Project title – EAGER: IMPRESS-U – an adaptive infrastructure recovery system designed to mitigate the effects of recurring shocks through resilience testing under extreme conditions in Ukraine

Project Value – 99 349,11 Eur

Project duration – 2024-06-03 2026-05-29

Project number – S-IMPRESSU-24-2

Project implementer – Mykolas Romeris University

Project Leader: Dr. Marius Laurinaitis

Project Objective: to develop and validate the RRUA methodological framework, which would enable the quantitative assessment of the resilience and recovery processes of complex, interconnected systems in the face of various threats, and to apply it in practice, thereby strengthening the capacity of Ukrainian and international partners’ infrastructures to respond effectively to crises, adapt, and ensure the long-term functioning of systems.

Project Summary: This project was initiated in response to increasing systemic disruptions (pandemics, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical threats) and the underdeveloped field of research on resilience and systemic recovery. Traditional methods focus primarily on prevention, resulting in a lack of tools to quantitatively assess system recovery following disruptions.

The project develops and applies a new RRUA (Resilience and Recovery Under Attack) system, utilizing various methods such as network science, xAI, and digital twin technologies. Particular attention is paid to Ukraine’s infrastructure, with the aim of strengthening its resilience in the face of dynamic threats through international cooperation.

The project is funded from the state budget and is being implemented under the “Lithuania-Ukraine Program,” a priority area supported by the Lithuanian Science Council.
