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.

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”. It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
