European CBRN Innovation for the Market Cluster
Bartek JankiewiczENCIRCLE End Conference
Nearly 150 delegates from 15 countries tuned in to watch the Encircle end conference on May 19th. They were treated to final project presentations from Clive Goodchild, Rachele Brancaleoni, Olga Vybornova and Bartlomiej Jankiewicz. The Encircle project will come to an end in September this year, and has provided support to the European Commission on filling needs and gaps through research projects and the ‘Part B’ projects themselves. As Encircle comes to an end its roles will be transferred to other projects like ‘iProcureNet’.
In addition to the Encircle presentations were two from Philippe Quevauviller, Project Home at DG Home, one on the new ‘Community of Users’ called CERIS: the Community for European Research and Innovation for Security and another on the Horizon Europe CBRN Topics within the Civil Security framework for Societies programme (Cluster3). These outlined the future for European CBRN research, not only in terms of the research thrusts themselves but also the audience and society itself.
In addition to the Encircle and DG Home presentations were a wealth of project presentations, all involved with CBRN defence in one form or another. These included: HoloZcan, Nest, Cosmic, Terriffic, EU-Sense, EU-Radion, Sersing, Fire-In, Including, Melody, No-Fear and eNotice. All of these will be available to watch on Encircle YouTube Channel.
