Testing and validating tools for cross-border disaster prevention, preparedness and response is a European Commission call, worth EUR 4.5 million per project, that funds real-world testing of practical tools for first responders, chosen from four options: AI/ML decision-support, miniaturised sensors for threat and victim detection, secure cross-border responder communications, or a CBRN alert syst…
The European Commission wants projects that test and validate practical tools for first responders, chosen from four options: AI/ML decision-support, miniaturised sensors for threat and victim detection, secure cross-border responder communications, or a CBRN alert system that links national, regional and European systems. Proposals should demonstrate interoperability across different responder sectors in real-case conditions.
