Strengthening resilience against shocks and crises is a key strategic goal for Europe. Technological sovereignty and a reliable energy supply are decisive factors in withstanding geopolitical tensions and economic pressures, thereby securing freedom, competitiveness, and sustainability for the people of Europe. By funding the competence center ‘Autonomic Resilience in Dynamic Networked Systems’ (ARC for short), the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) is laying the foundation for a leading center for collaborative research and the innovation of resilient systems. Because COMET centers are designed to run for eight years, this opens up the prospect for the long-term development of excellence and sustainable innovation. This initiative will create 30 highly skilled jobs at Lakeside Labs and the University of Klagenfurt. The largest partner is the University of Klagenfurt, which co-owns Lakeside Labs alongside BABEG.

The Pervasive Computing group is looking forward to fruitful collaborations with the COMET center which will commence operations in January 2027.
