Project coordinator Professor José María Sarriegi hosted two presentations on the Smart Mature Resilience Project in March 2016, providing insights into the projects progress to participants of the Internal Seminars program of the Management and Marketing Department of the University Pablo de Olavide (UPO) and Industrial Management Engineering students of the University of Navarra (TECNUN).

The seminars addressed the issue of how all cities are vulnerable to crisis, from small incidents, such as water and electricity shortages, to more severe crises such as floods or earthquakes that generate high economic impacts and loss of life. The consequences of these crises depend on the preparation and the response level of the cities to address these crises.
