About the project
Methodology
The work in the project is organized in 3 phases: first – the identification of the capability gaps, experienced and expressed by the Fire & Rescue practitioners. The gaps are formulated as challenges to be solved by the research and industry. In the second phase the project partners review ongoing and planned R&D projects and suggest promising solutions, addressing the gaps. During the third phase the project will establish an interactive cooperation with the research and industry and request proposals for the new R&D. The responses will be evaluated by the Associated Experts. Finally the project will provide recommendations for the European Strategic Research and Standardisation Agenda on Security.
Delivering solutions for safer European societies
The frequency and scope of natural disasters are increasing worldwide. Together with the high societal expectations for security and the increased concerns for health and safety of the responders,
it presents new challenges for the Fire & Rescue, research, innovation and standardisation communities. The ultimate objective of the FIRE-IN project is to raise the security level of the EU citizens by improving the Fire & Rescue services capabilities to address various forms of hazards, natural or manmade.
