Enhanced capacities of first responders more efficient rescue operations, including decontamination of infrastructures in the case of a CBRN-E event

Closed

Code: 19259 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL3-2022-DRS-01-09 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Civil security for society (Cluster 3) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 30/06/2022 | End submission calls: 23/11/2022

Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:

• Analysis on if and how the specific requirements of operating under CBRN-E conditions can be taken into consideration also for teams/capacities that are traditionally not operating under CBRN-E conditions (e. g. search and rescue, medical care, shelter, firefighting, flood rescue, etc.).
• Development of innovative technologies and/or operating procedures for emergency management units that might need to work under CBRN-E (Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives) conditions such as search and rescue (including victim triage procedures), medical care, shelter, firefighting, flood rescue, etc.
• Develop innovative technology and procedures for mass decontamination but also for the decontamination of inanimate material (infrastructure, buildings, vehicles, equipment).

Improved crime scene investigations related to transfer, persistence and background abundance

Closed

Code: 19255 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL3-2022-FCT-01-01 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Civil security for society (Cluster 3) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 30/06/2022 | End submission calls: 23/11/2022

Police Authorities deal with a growing complexity of crime scenes containing various types of trace evidence items that can also present safety hazards for the forensic experts and crime scene investigators. There is a need to improve these processes and make them more accurate, effective and sensitive in such a complex scenario, by employing modern approaches, for instance (but not limited to) nanotechnology, next generation sequencing or Artificial Intelligence. Also there is a need to modernise forensic science for the professionalisation of crime scene investigations.

Improved international cooperation addressing first responder capability gaps

Closed

Code: 19252 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL3-2022-DRS-01-07 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Civil security for society (Cluster 3) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 30/06/2022 | End submission calls: 23/11/2022

Projects’ results are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:

• Improved real-time detection, tracking and analysis of different situations, incidents and risks 
• More targeted actionable intelligence and more efficient command operations due to the fast analysis of different information sources
• Enhanced European and global interoperability for different types of first responders (e.g. firefighters, medical responders, police, civil protection)
• Availability of first responder solutions that are oriented on internationally defined requirements and recognised practices, and thus can be used with different national systems and equipment

Enhanced situational awareness and preparedness of first responders and improved capacities to minimise time-to-react in urban areas in the case of CBRN-E-related events

Closed

Code: 19239 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL3-2022-DRS-01-08 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Civil security for society (Cluster 3) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 30/06/2022 | End submission calls: 23/11/2022

Addressing first responders’ needs requires innovative actions resulting in technological, institutional and capacity-building solutions that are tailored to the risks, affordable, accepted by citizens, and customised and implemented for the (cross-sectoral) needs of practitioners. Innovative solutions are required to enable first responders to get a faster overview of any disaster situation based on the knowledge of past events and prevention actions.

Enhanced citizen preparedness in the event of a disaster or crisis-related emergency

Closed

Code: 19236 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL3-2022-DRS-01-01 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Civil security for society (Cluster 3) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 30/06/2022 | End submission calls: 23/11/2022

Improving societal resilience to disasters or crises relies on various features related to preparedness of citizens, communities, education systems, public administrations, business companies and practitioners. Individual, public and multi-level actions are needed in disaster risk management and they have huge implications on potentially reducing losses and increasing the operational capacity of responders, along with significant impacts on the emergency planning and management phases and its relation to continuous operations and existing safety management.

Enhanced preparedness and management of High-Impact Low-Probability or unexpected events

Closed

Code: 19224 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL3-2022-DRS-01-02 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Civil security for society (Cluster 3) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 30/06/2022 | End submission calls: 23/11/2022

The risk landscape has changed significantly over the last decades. With new and emerging risks and risk magnifiers such as climate change, cyber threats, infectious diseases and terrorism, countries need to anticipate and prepare for the unexpected and difficult to predict. High-impact, low-probability risks (HILP/Hi-Lo) can be understood as “events or occurrences that cannot easily be anticipated, arise randomly and unexpectedly, and have immediate effects and significant impacts”.

Better understanding the influence of organisational cultures and human interactions in the forensic context as well as a common lexicon

Closed

Code: 19166 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL3-2022-FCT-01-02 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Civil security for society (Cluster 3) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 30/06/2022 | End submission calls: 23/11/2022

Projects’ results are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes:

• Increased European common forensic investigation capabilities and cross-border exchanges thanks to a better understanding of main organisational cultures and of human interactions in the forensic context, and of the main causes of biases in interpretation and reasoning;
• Strengthened bridges between different actors in an investigative process through an improved non-ambiguous communication and enhanced communication mechanisms at all levels;
• Improved European common forensics investigation capabilities and cross-border exchanges thanks to a common, modern lexicon that is used by forensic institutes and Police Authorities, validated against practitioners’ needs and requirements, to facilitate their (specialised) daily work on investigating terrorism and other forms of serious crime;
• Development of safer justice outcomes through an increased understanding of how human interactions impacts on decisions at all levels of an investigative process;

Enhanced fight against the abuse of online gaming culture by extremists

Closed

Code: 19159 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL3-2022-FCT-01-03 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Civil security for society (Cluster 3) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 30/06/2022 | End submission calls: 23/11/2022

Research is needed to analyse the use of online gaming culture and structure by violent extremists as well as their modus operandi through video game chatrooms and forums.
Regarding video games themselves, an in-depth analysis is needed on how the type of the video game, of its theme, design, aesthetics etc. plays a role in the choice of the chatroom to be used as a recruitment area. As far as video game chatrooms, including social media platforms discussing video games, are concerned, dissemination strategies of violent extremists through them as well as their ways of grooming should be analysed.
