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 UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
