On 21st March 2024, the PEERS team were in Strasbourg presenting at the 6th International Conference “CBRN-E Research and Innovation”, where we supported, and helped deliver a panel session on “Interoperability” as part of the European Commission’s CERIS CBRN-E event held as a workshop as part of the main conference.
PEERS is a project endeavouring to re-shape harmonisation of CBRN-E standards across Europe and to give responders access to a summary of standards and guidance on a range of subjects including Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s), decontamination and civil access to NATO standards.
Moderated by Philippe Quevauviller (European Commission – DG Home), the event brought together policy, standards and operational personnel from across the European CBRN-E and Disaster Resilient Society communities, as well as some 20 projects from CSTAC, the CBRN and Standardisation Cluster of projects led by PEERS.
The CERIS event incorporated distinguished experts, into the following panel sessions during the day:
• CBRN Risk and Governance
• Technologies for first and second responders
• Anticipating tomorrow’s crises, preparedness, training and adapting response means
• Interoperability
