This thematic Workshop of the Community for European Research and Innovation for Security (CERIS) aims at presenting and discussing European research and innovative solutions, as well as further capability needs relevant for enhancing first responders’ operational capabilities in different rescue operations scenarios.
Interested audience include security practitioners, especially fire services, police and rescue agencies, but also innovators, operators in emergency situations, and national and EU policy makers on capabilities such as those related to search and rescue operations in multi-hazardous conditions, and disaster risk management. The Workshop will bring together updates and EU-funded projects of innovative European technologies in this field.
It will be an occasion to showcase groundbreaking technologies for first responders through demos sessions; present experiences and opportunities for collaborative research and innovation in Europe; and discuss the innovation uptake of research results.

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
