Testing and validating tools for cross-border disaster prevention, preparedness and response

Funds real-world testing of AI tools, sensors or communication systems that help first responders handle cross-border disasters and CBRN threats.

This is a single-stage Innovation Action funded as a lump sum, with EUR 13,500,000 set aside across roughly three projects worth about EUR 4,500,000 each; the Commission commits to funding at least the top-ranked proposal in each option group. Between 5% and 20% of requested EU funding may be passed to third-party responders or SMEs for extra testing, capped at EUR 100,000 per third party. Applica
