Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to some or all of the following expected outcomes: - Accelerated adoption of high-TRL (Technology Readiness Level) disaster risk solutions across diverse sectors; - Facilitated integration of innovative technologies into existing disaster prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery frameworks; - Promoted collaboration among stakeholders to scale proven solutions and enhance resilience; - Addressed barriers to deployment, ensuring accessibility and usability of advanced DRS technologies; - Strengthened evidence-based decision-making through demonstration and validation of high-TRL solutions in real-world scenarios; - Promoted visibility of civil security research results.

Scope: This topic aims to foster the widespread adoption and integration of high-TRL (Technology Readiness Level) disaster risk solutions (DRS) across multiple sectors, enhancing societal resilience to various hazards, including climate. The focus is on overcoming barriers to deployment, ensuring accessibility, and strengthening collaboration among stakeholders to drive innovation uptake. Projects should promote the adoption of high-TRL solutions by public and private sector organizations involved in disaster risk management, developing strategies for scaling and commercializing innovative DRS technologies to ensure they reach end-users efficiently. They should also demonstrate how these technologies can complement or replace existing disaster preparedness, response, and recovery frameworks by developing integrated governance and coordination models across sectors and levels for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery in…

  • Impact: credible pathways to the expected outcomes, and measures to communicate and exploit results.
  • Quality and efficiency of implementation: the work plan, resources and the consortium's capacity.
