Description of the work
The proposed large-scale pilots will be performed in two phases:
1. An initial evaluation of the developed beAWARE components
 2. Pilot test, where a final test of the developed beAWARE solutions and components will be carried out before setting
 the final outcomes of the project
  Pilots:
  Flood: beAWARE will develop an environment capable of creating analysis and exploration tool that allows decision
   makers to track and understand events, behaviours and trends at the micro- or macro-scale.
   Fires: beAWARE technologies will help in the early stages of the development of fires and support decision makers
    during the crisis.
    Heatwave: beAWARE system will offer an early warning regarding upcoming phenomena, as well as assist all relative
     engaged organisations in taking necessary measures to avoid past mistakes and address a heatwave more efficiently.

       Results
        – Develop new enhanced decision support and early warning services based on aggregated analysis of multimodal
        data and previous crisis management records
         – Establish shorter reaction time and higher efficiency of reaction
         – Provide improved coordination of emergency reaction in the field, including the use of adapted technologies
          – Contribute to European policies regarding disaster risks and crisis management

Description of the work
As risks are not 'objective' but socially and culturally constructed, disaster management which is aware, respects,
and makes use of local cultural aspects will be not only more effective but, at the same time, also improve the
 community’s disaster coping capacities. CARISMAND will identify these factors, explore existing gaps and opportunities
 for improvement of disaster policies and procedures, and develop a comprehensive toolkit which will allow professional
  as well as voluntary disaster managers to adopt culturally-aware everyday practices. This goal will be achieved
  by approaching the links, and gaps, between disaster management, culture and risk perception from the broadest
   possible multi-disciplinary perspective and, simultaneously, developing a feedback-loop between disaster management
   stakeholders and citizens to establish, test, and refine proposed solutions for culturally-informed best practices in disaster
    management. Whilst experts from a variety of fields (in particular legal, IT, cognitive science, anthropology, psychology,
    sociology) will undertake a comprehensive collation of existing knowledge and structures, a number of Citizen Summits
    and Stakeholder Assemblies will be organised. Systematically, CARISMAND will use an approach that examines natural,
     man-made and technical disasters, placing at the center of attention specific aspects that affect culturally informed risk
      perceptions, e.g. whether disasters are caused intentionally or not, the different “visibility” of hazards, and various time
      scales of disasters such as slow/fast onset and short- and long-term effects. By organizing six Citizen Summits (two
       per disaster category per year in two separate locations) where such disaster risks are prevalent, and three Stakeholder
       Assemblies (one per year) where the results are discussed through a wide cross-sectional knowledge transfer between
        disaster managers from different locations and different cultural backgrounds.

        Results
         1) Increased effectiveness of those who respond to disasters.
         2) A more resilient society by ensuring that cities are better prepared for and able to recover from emergencies.
          3) Better matching of needs of various cultures during disaster relief, thus improving reaction time and reducing
          fatalities.
           4) Providing a framework for improving disasters’ policies and practices by taking into consideration every disaster
           victim’s cultural and personal uniqueness.

SECURE EU Research for a - CYSEC 2020
Description of the work
CLISEL began with a preliminary case study and a questionnaire, “Climate-change migrations, security: the role of Local
Authorities”. The questionnaire aimed to gain an understanding of the current level of knowledge of municipalities about
 both climate change itself and its impact on migration. It also aimed to understand perceptions of migrants as well as
 local efforts to solve issues. The information from the questionnaire was then statistically analysed.
  Secondly, workshops and focus groups drew the attention of mayors, city councillors and delegates to the issue of
  climate change, migration and security.
   A ‘Security Map’ was drafted based on this information to understand needs and concerns of a given region.
   During the second phase of the project, CLISEL will target EU policy-makers, analysts and national governments through
    the production of guidelines for European external policies on labour mobility and climate change, as well as an online
    geo-archive. Workshops and training activities will be organised in the next phase to involve European and international
     stakeholders.

        Results
         CLISEL will contribute to a more secure society with its “security map” informing the public about local regions
         regarding climate change and migration crises. In addition it will also serve as an educational tool for the local
          authorities regarding climate-induced migration.

Description of the work
The project will carry-out:
- A scoping review of existing research and disaster management policies and practices relating to children and young
  people.
 - Dialogues with children and young people to understand their perceptions of risk, strengthen their resilience and empower
   them to communicate their perceptions, priorities and needs in disasters to disaster practitioners.
  - Mutual learning exercises with children, young people and disaster practitioners to raise awareness and influence local
     disaster policies and plans to include the particular needs and capacities of children and young people.
   - National level dialogues with policy makers to communicate the needs, priorities and capacities of children and young
      people in disasters and influence policy and practice.
    - A European level dialogue to share learning from each country’s initiatives.
     - Development of a EU framework for engaging with children and young people in disasters.

        Results
         - Increased effectiveness of disasters responders in relation to the role of children.
          - Preparedness, response and recovery measures will be culturally sensitive to children and young people.
          - More resilient cities drawing on the strengths as well as vulnerabilities of children.
           - Improved response and recovery through development of local child-centered disaster management plans.

Description of the work
In recent years, crises and disasters (Eyjafjallajökull and Deepwater Horizon 2010, Fukushima Daiichi 2011) have
made it obvious that a more resilient approach to preparing for and dealing with such events is needed. DARWIN will
 improve responses to expected and unexpected crises affecting critical infrastructure and social structures, as well as
 address the management of both man-made events (e.g. cyber-attacks) and natural events (e.g. earthquakes). The
  main objective of the project is the development of European resilience management guidelines. These will improve the
  ability of stakeholders to anticipate, monitor, respond, adapt, learn and evolve, to operate efficiently in the face of crises.
   To enable dynamic, user-friendly guidelines the project will adapt innovative tools (e.g. serious gaming, training
   packages), test and validate the guidelines, and establish knowledge about how organisations can implement guidelines
    to improve resilience. A multidisciplinary approach is applied, involving experts in the field of resilience, crisis and risk
    management, social media and service providers in the air traffic management and health care domains. To ensure
     transnational, cross-sector applicability, long-term relevance and uptake of project results, a Community of Crisis and
      Resilience Practitioners (CoCRP) will be established, including stakeholders and end-users from other domains and
      critical infrastructure and resilience experts. The CoCRP will be involved in an iterative evaluation process to provide
       feedback on the guidelines.
        The target beneficiaries of DARWIN are crisis management actors and stakeholders responsible for public safety, such
        as critical infrastructure and service providers, which might be affected by a crisis, as well as the public and media.

        Results
         - Catalogue of resilience concepts and requirements for guidelines
          - Generic resilience management guidelines addressing the capacities to anticipate, monitor, respond and adapt,
             learn and evolve
           - Process and storage which facilitate easy access and updates

Description of the work
Tools and methods are invented and developed from which each of EDUCEN 'case study cities' can select to facilitate
and support learning on disaster and culture; for example, a serious game, social mapping, and multi-stakeholder
 dialogues. Learning and replication between cities is facilitated by a transferability framework. Extensive process
 documentation facilitates this learning within and outside the consortium. A state of the art report, conceived as a
  modular 'living document' that can be translated and transformed in multiple formats for multiple audiences, integrates
  these learnings by theme. To attain this, we provide opportunities for stakeholders to meet, exchange, understand, and
   build on sociocultural networks ('soft infrastructure') and cultural capabilities to deal with disaster risk.

        Results
         Our project will produce locally relevant support materials at a city level., and precipitate and facilitate the formation
         of a living network of experts on cultures in disasters encompassing community members and practitioners
         (communities of practice-CoP). There will be links between academia and practitioners to bridge gaps between
          research and practice.

Description of the work
The actual emergency systems are based on old-fashioned telecommunication technologies that cannot cope with the
new IP-based services that the European citizens use every day. Some of these limitations are summarised below:
 1) There is no standard underlying technology for the separate emergency systems
 2) There is no interconnection among the PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points): this, unfortunately, limits the transfer
  of calls in case of congestion and network outage
  3) Media limitation: currently only voice calls and sometimes SMS are accepted
   4) No unified platform: currently emergency warning systems are completely separate from the 112 emergency centers
   5) There are no advanced features, such as caller location
    6) Emergency calls are unidirectional: they are established from the end-users towards the PSAP
    7) There is no non-telecommunication platform as a backup in case the telecommunication infrastructure is
     not operational
     8) The social media are not integrated: handling emergency situation should not only be the task of the rescue teams.
      Involving citizens especially through social media (twitter, Facebook, etc.) in monitoring events and sharing information
       will lead to a better management
       9) The eCall (the emergency solution for vehicles in case of crash) technology is based on the GSM, which limits the
        amount of emergency data to be sent
        The aim of the EMYNOS project is to design, specify and develop a next generation emergency framework that resolves
         the above mentioned limitations. EMYNOS innovations are: A) Caller Location retrieval compliant to IETF and ETSI;
         B) Support for persons with various categories of disabilities; C) eCall extensions including photos and videos;
          D) Exploit social media to support disaster management operations.
        Results
         The EMYNOS project addressed the limitations of current emergency systems, particularly in terms of media and
         location. This is reflected in its platform which enables the provision of IP-based emergency calls. The platform is
          designed to deal with issues such as location information, encoding, retrieval and emergency call routing to the
          appropriate emergency call center according to the standards of the EENA NG112 LTD document. EMYNOS has two
           phases. The first 18-month phase saw several components developed for the project’s testbed. The current, second
           phase has targeted two objectives: (1) completion of the EMYNOS testbed and (2) its integration with existing
            legacy systems.

Description of the work
ENCIRCLE will create an open and neutral EU CBRN cluster by:
– Enlarging and strengthening the European community of CBRN suppliers capable and willing to market their products globally, by expanding
 from the current 50 suppliers and 85 SMEs already registered in the EDEN SME and Supplier Platforms
 – Enlarging the European community of CBRN users based on the CBRN component of DG HOME’s Community of Users and the 165 end users
  registered in the EDEN end user platform, and linking relevant networks of practitioners
  – Ensuring that both communities cooperate to achieve better EU competitiveness, market development and response to user needs
   – Providing a sustainable and secure portal and databases to facilitate the catalogue, community networks and market place during and after
   the project based on lessons learnt from EDEN
    The project will also provide a sustainable and flexible short-to-long term vision and roadmap for the development of the European CBRN
    market and innovations via:
     – A continuous state of the art, market study, budgets and needs, gaps assessment and threat analysis based initially on EDEN and other EU
     and national projects, and issue a first version of the new technologies catalogue in time for Part b implementation and issuing topics for fast
      track innovations and emerging threats
      – A continuous assessment of non-technological lessons learnt from EU projects and EU national/international demonstrations
       – Issuing a list of CBRN relevant technologies that need to be developed to integrate them into the platforms, end user systems or with other
        technologies to generate innovation
        – Identifying a list of enabling, dual-use and non-specific CBRN products and technologies that can significantly enhance CBRN product
         performance and market when integrated in the final products such as communications, positioning, visualisation, sensors, etc.
          – Providing a link to CBRN test laboratories and training centres that gather CBRN stakeholders (e.g. first responders, trainers, researchers,
          experts, technology suppliers) to facilitate validation, increase customer awareness and confidence and pave the way to an EU CBRN label
          – Ensuring that the future products are legal, ethical and responsible by design
           ENCIRCLE will support CBRN safety, security and defence commrcial and market services by:
           – Identifying and developing interfaces with financial institutions and procurement agencies and accompanying measures to facilitate market
            entry
            – Providing commercial and other services support enabling access to the global markets
             – Identifying and proposing incentive schemes for Member States and procurement agencies such as joint procurement
             Finally, the project will improve and facilitate European CBRN dissemination and exploitation through:
             – Exploitation of the EDEN consortium and platforms comprehensive information that is made available by the EDEN project
              – Reporting publicly the cluster discussions whilst respecting IPR and confidentiality
              – Assessing and providing feedback on the success of the business deals implemented whilst respecting confidentiality
               – Leveraging future CBRN user orientated conferences and exhibitions to promote and display innovations to customers, in particular SMEs
               – Providing an additional sustainable dimension to the CBRN component of the COU at EU national, regional and other levels
                – Raising awareness of relevant results and innovations that have been identified in objective 2 to be further exploited through other EU
                and national instruments such as DG ECHO, CBRN Centres of Excellence, structural funds and other procurement agencies
                 – Improvement of EU competitiveness on internal and export markets and associated company growth and employment
                 – Paving the way for a future CBRN European Innovation Partnership (EIP) to provide high level political support to the CBRN sector

              Results
               ENCIRCLE will offer industry, SMEs, science and technology organisations, practitioners and policy makers an efficient collaborative
               approach through improved knowledge sharing, cooperation leading to improved market support and a faster route to market for
                successful innovations. It will build on the EDEN extensive needs, gaps and results assessment methodology. It will also build on the
                EDEN platform experience (end users, suppliers and SMEs) for setting and operating its communities.
                 In addition to the project workshops, the ENCIRCLE portal will enable the exchanges, assessment of new threats and solutions and
                 provide early warning and co-operations between partners and members of the communities (in particular between large industries
                  and SMEs) by protected networks and fora. It will display the results in an interactive way, in particular regarding the dynamic
                  catalogue and proposed recommendations for standards and platforms.
                   ENCIRCLE will also go beyond EDEN to:
                   – Address all the phases of the CBRN security cycle
                   – Provide a short-to-long term vision (roadmap and detailed plan), including defence, national or regional programmes
                    – Recommend CBRN topics for future calls for proposals
                    – Be reactive to new threats (“the question box”)
                     – Provide a market and commercial support
                     – Provide advice and support on business deals, interfaces and integration for an improved EU competitiveness and resilience

Description of the work
eNOTICE has developed a structured and comprehensive approach to creating an open and neutral EU network of
CBRN training centres (CBRN TC), testing and demonstration sites. To fulfil the tasks of networking, community building,
 innovation and sustainability development, the project will:
  – Elaborate a framework for European network of CBRN TC, testing and demonstration sites
  – Establish a web-based information and communication platform to provide, share and disseminate information during
   and after the project; this will make the eNOTICE network visible and attractive to CBRN-TC and external stakeholders,
   provide access to CBRN TC capacities according to a ‘capacity label’ and encourage and facilitate communication and
    interactions between all parties
     – Set up an operational transactional network for optimising investments by pooling and sharing resources, expertise,
     and effective practices, by organising joint activities between the eNOTICE network members and external partners, and
      by liaising with other networks of CBRN stakeholders

        Results
         The project will organise 16 joint exercises (i.e. field, table top, serious gaming and simulations involving all project
         beneficiaries, stakeholders from the planned exercises and external invited ones). It will devise a solid methodology
          for mapping and comparing capabilitiess, with permanent dissemination activities through a web based information
           and communication platform.
           This process of networking will become dynamic, natural and efficient and will make the network viable and
           sustainable during and beyond its five-year lifetime, thus helping build a long term collaborative community.
            CBRN training centres are strategically placed in the core of the network as they are the genuine operational link
            between all CBRN stakeholders, particularly practitioners and technology suppliers. They are the ideal intermediary
             due to their usual core business of training practitioners in well-sadapted infrastructures for training in real case
             settings.

Description of the work
Using current best practice, EuroBioTox will develop and validate improved analytical tools, reagents and standard
operating procedures based on realistic incident scenarios. Certified reference materials for the threat biotoxins will be
 developed and, by establishing a European repository, will be made available to the EuroBioTox network of more than
 50 European organisations, expert laboratories, industrial partners and end-users.
  Training courses at basic and advanced levels will be developed and attended by EuroBioTox network partners, followed
  by a series of proficiency tests which, through these “outer circle” associates, will disseminate best practice methods
   across Europe. The current animal test for botulinum neurotoxin is ethically unacceptable, so alternative in vitro tests
   will be evaluated.

        Results
         Once this project is completed, there will be a pan-European network of competence, certified reference materials,
         standard operating procedures and a common way of handling biotoxin incidents.

Description of the work
The project’s two broad objectives are to develop:
– An adaptable multipurpose threat detection system (network of sensors, comprising both stationary and person-worn
 sensor nodes supported by environmental noise learning algorithm for false alarm rate reduction)
 – Tools for enhancing situational awareness based on sensor data (threat source location estimation and hazard
  prediction solutions)
  In general, the system will improve threat detection capabilities and increase the reliability of state-of-the-art sensors
   via networking and novel algorithms.
   The project will also implement a dedicated training mode for CBRNe practitioners. It will be an integral part of the
    overall system to familiarise users with the equipment and to train and rehearse for specific situations.
    EU-SENSE will be strongly user-driven, and the demonstration of its system will be conducted in realistic working
     conditions in a professional firefighters’ training centre and with use of chemical simulants. The project will also consider
      the issue of interoperability between various chemical sensors and propose a concept to standardise sensor network
      descriptions.

        Results
         EU-SENSE should provide real capabilities for European CBRNe practitioners to improve threat detection, situational
         awareness and training and simulation.

Description of the work
FLYSEC achieves its ambitious goals by integrating new technologies on video surveillance, intelligent remote image
processing and biometrics combined with big data analysis, open-source intelligence and crowdsourcing. Re-purposing
 existing technologies is also one of FLYSEC's objectives, such as mobile application technologies for improved passenger
 experience and positive boarding applications (i.e. services to facilitate boarding and landside/airside way finding) as
  well as RFID for carry-on luggage tracking and quick unattended luggage handling.
  FLYSEC will implement a seamless risk-based security process combining the aforementioned technologies with
  behavioural analysis and innovative cognitive algorithms. A key aspect in the design of FLYSEC risk-based security is
   applying ethical-by-design patterns, maximising the efficiency of security controls through passenger differentiation
   ranging from “unknown” to “known/registered”, while remaining ethical and fair in the process and strictly avoiding any
    discrimination. Policy, regulatory and standardisation aspects will also be examined in the context of FLYSEC innovative
    security concept.
     FLYSEC will validate the operational value of its solution through pilot test in real operational environment.
     FLYSEC's overall security concept for airport security will be based on :
      1) passenger facilitation
      2) risk-based security
       3) outcome focused results.
       These core points are positioned within a social, political, legal and anthropological framework.
        In the FLYSEC Secure Tunnels scenario the tunnel is implemented as a virtual path from the landside, through the
        security check and to the airside where technological components offer intelligence and risk-based security correlations
         through passive tracking and intelligent analysis.

        Results
         - Innovative processes facilitating risk-based approach
          - Deployment and integration of new technologies and re-purposing existing solutions towards a risk-based security
             paradigm shift
           - Improvement of passenger facilitation and customer service, bringing security as a real service to the airport
              of tomorrow
            - Achieving measurable throughput improvement and a whole new level of quality of service.

Description of the work
The project will study preparedness by enabling a reference implementation of coordination operations and training
platforms at the service of stakeholders. Another deliverable will be application of the project’s outcomes to response
 operations. As such, the project will prepare operations, plan and support the transboundary deployment of CP
 services and elaborate lessons learnt and system evaluation with feedback for preparedness. The project will include
  three exercises (a CBRN-related industrial accident, evacuation of a cruise ship and a massive flood) and three large
   demonstrations (terrorist attack, earthquake and resulting cascade of CI failures, and a large forest fire during a refugee
   crisis). These will combine the entirety of civil protection stakeholders in cross-agency, cross-operations formats to
    support collaborative and transboundary response, planning and dynamic scenario building.

        Results
         From a policy perspective, IN-PREP’s vision is to create a cross-organisational handbook of transboundary preparedness
         and response operations that will organise and synchronise national and EU efforts for strengthening preparedness.
          Technologically, the project’s MRPP will provide a novel solution to collaboratively and dynamically plan complex
          operations, by building realistic scenarios that can be remodelled in real-time in response to incident drifts. It
           will facilitate transboundary coordination over a common situational picture. The MRPP will be used mainly for
           preparedness but also for response activities.
