PEACE AND STABILITY

eNOVATION focuses on teaching and training for first and second responders and provides them with adequate user-friendly technologies and tools that enable them to improve the global risk assessment on-site and provide better protection to the practitioners and the population potentially exposed. eNOVATION aims to expand the CBRN eNOTICE Training Centre (TC) network by including CBRN Center of Excellence Regional Offices and CBRN CoE of partner countries as key contributors. The main goal of the project is to create a functional structure that meets the operational needs of the entire Security community for CBRN crisis preparedness and response. Key aspects of eNOVATION’s action include providing access to upgraded capacity labeled TCs, advanced training methods using technologies like VR/XR, user-friendly on-site tools and technologies to security practitioners, updated policies and crisis management adapted to new threats and enhanced CBRN marketplace access.

CBRN SoS aims to develop an integrated information system that connects existing national CBRN defence systems in a modular and flexible way. The project enhances cooperation across Member States, improving situational awareness and response efficiency to CBRN threats. By relying on recognised international standards, CBRN SoS promotes interoperability in a fragmented system landscape, enabling easier adoption and alignment by end-users and national authorities.

The RESIST Project aims to enhance the resilience of large-scale, interconnected critical infrastructures through the integration of the Skydweller platform, an ultra-persistent, sustainable, and versatile aerial system equipped with high-performance sensors, with Copernicus satellite imagery, including both optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. This integrated solution is designed to support critical infrastructure operators and crisis management authorities across European territories throughout the entire disaster management cycle, including preparedness, response, and recovery phases.

RESIST will deliver multi-mission operational capabilities, enabling both persistent and ad hoc monitoring of critical infrastructures, providing actionable data to support the updating of emergency plans, and strengthening infrastructure protection and security measures. Furthermore, the project will enhance coordination and response capacities in the event of disasters and will contribute to the implementation of climate adaptation strategies and resilience planning at European, national, and regional levels, including, where applicable, neighbouring countries.

The CHESSMEN project is a multi-country initiative funded under the EU4Health Programme (EU4H-2021-JA-06) and coordinated by the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA). The project aims to strengthen the capacity of European Union Member States to prevent, monitor, and manage shortages of medicinal products, a growing challenge affecting public health systems and the continuity of patient care across Europe. Medicine shortages result from a combination of manufacturing, distribution, regulatory, and market factors.

The CHESSMEN initiative addresses these challenges by strengthening coordination between national authorities and European institutions and promoting harmonised definitions, procedures, and operational frameworks. Building on existing studies and best practices, the project aims to develop common operational models to improve Member States’ preparedness and response to shortages, while reinforcing links between national monitoring systems and EU mechanisms such as the EMA SPOC Network. The project brings together a consortium of national regulatory authorities and public institutions across Europe. Through coordinated activities and analytical work, CHESSMEN aims to strengthen the resilience of European pharmaceutical supply chains and support authorities in ensuringaccess to essential medicines across the EU.
