The ESA Acceleration Days on Crisis Preparedness will take place from October 20 to 24, 2024. This in-person event is designed as a fast-paced competition, similar to hackathons, where top teams work to develop innovative solutions for pressing challenges in Europe.

The focus will be on creating solutions for the evacuation of a large stadium during a crisis incident. This initiative is a collaboration between ESA, safe.brussels, and the Midi Police Zone, aiming to find practical solutions to real-world problems.

The competition is open to all organizations from ESA Member States, including industry, SMEs, startups, research centers, and academia. Teams must consist of at least three members and will receive support throughout the event to refine and pitch their ideas to a jury.

Applications close on July 31, 2025, at 23:59 CEST.

ERC grants awarded to professor Inez Germeys

Professor Inez Germeys leads the Center for Contextual Psychiatry at KU Leuven, which is a large multi-disciplinary research group focusing on the interaction between the person and the environment in the development of psychopathology. She has received a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant (INTERACT) and Proof of Concept grant (IMPACT). With these grants professor Germeys and her team researched a new mobile self-management therapy for patients with a psychotic disorder. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL) was further developed for the clinical environment. In line with that the Horizon 2020 IMMERSE project aims to thoroughly evaluate strategies, processes, and outcomes of implementing a digital mobile mental health solution.
