Horizon Critical Infrastructure: Multi-Hazard Resilience Tech

Funds two €4.5M projects that give infrastructure operators and first responders shared tools to spot risks and coordinate across borders during a crisis.

OpenEuropean CommissionEU

Horizon Critical Infrastructure: Multi-Hazard Resilience Tech is a European Commission call that funds shared tools for infrastructure operators and first responders to spot risks and coordinate across borders during a crisis. Disasters rarely stay inside one sector anymore. A flood can take out a power substation, which cripples water treatment, which cascades into a public-health emergency — and…

Developing and demonstrating targeted, high-tech capabilities — sector-specific, interoperable, modular technology and governance solutions — that close identified gaps in how critical entities prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural hazards, human-induced incidents, and NaTech (natural-hazard-triggered technological) events, including hybrid combinations of these. Funded work typically builds common platforms or operational tools for dynamic risk assessment and decision support between public authorities, first responders, and critical infrastructure operators, or strengthens cross-border cooperation frameworks for emergency and continuity management. Proposals must be grounded in existing risk assessments and lessons learned from real disruptive events, prove cross-border multi-actor coordination through simulation or real-environment testing, and reach TRL 6-7 by the end of the project.
