DRiving InnoVation in crisis management for European Resilience (DRIVER)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Oct 31, 2018,

DRIVER starts from the experience that neither successful R&D nor strong end-user demand always lead to innovation in the Crisis Management (CM) domain. This is a problem since as societies become more complex, increasing scope and unpredictability of potential crises and faster dynamics of major incidents put increasingly stringent demands on CM. European CM capabilities already constitute a matu ...
