The overall objective of PEERS is to advance and reinforce existing policy through practitioner-driven pre-normative standardisation processes, which will enhance the development of a European Better Practice ecosystem. The project aims to support the effective strengthening of preparedness and response in the field of DRR and CBRN-e through standardisation. The ecosystem brings together Europe's disaster risk management for natural hazards and CBRN-E and European research policy-making, societal stakeholders standardisation bodies, and industry stakeholders to strengthen European resilience to all hazards through a comprehensive engagement and consultation governance mechanism.

CUDIMHA intends to address Tunisian’s needs of modernisation and internationalisation of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) by developing an innovative 2 years Master in History and Archaeology providing labour market-oriented skills for the target audience holding Bachelor’s degree in the Humanities field. In particular, CUDIMHA aims at fostering innovative teaching, learning approaches and methodologies through the delivery of blended teaching units combining in presence and on-line courses, tutored projects on the field, traineeships, experience abroad keeping the focus on new contents and ICT tools use. The project targets objectives dealing with: 1) internationalisation and modernisation of HEIs History and Archaeology curriculum fostering innovative teaching/learning approaches; 2) better alignment of students' skills to labour market requirements; 3) sharing of best practices and knowledge transfer; 4) enhancing cooperation between Tunisian and EU universities, and also at national scale among Tunisian universities and other relevant stakeholders: some of them appearing in the project as Associated partners; 5) addressing gender inequality issues in the education and participation on the labour market; 6) raising awareness among project stakeholders regarding the cultural heritage in Tunisia. These objectives will be realized in close collaboration with Tunisian public authorities, encouraging the development of new contents, the use of ICT tools, experience abroad for Tunisian students and staff, involving 85 students (65 Tunisian), 51 academic and administrative staff people (41 Tunisian), civil servants representing Tunisian authorities.

The SYSTEM project will design and demonstrate a data fusion system for the continuous monitoring of threats associated to the manufacturing of explosives and to the production and handling of synthetic drugs. Data fused from different mature sensor networks will provide Law Enforcement Agencies with enriched information to assess the potential occurrence of a criminal activity (e.g. to localize the production of improvised explosive devices and/or clandestine synthetic drugs laboratories) in an identified area. Forerunners and basis of SYSTEM are two H2020 IA projects, NOSY and microMole, funded under the call FCT-05-2014. SYSTEM devices will support the detection of home-made explosives and synthetic drugs manufacturing by detecting intermediates and impurities of the production process and precursors used for their synthesis, identifying abnormal use of chemicals transported/provided within the covered urban areas. Additionally, the prevalence of new psychoactive substances including metabolites in the sewage system will be assessed. Deploying a network of sensing systems, working in different and complementary utilities and environments, SYSTEM will acquire and process data from the sewage wastewater and solid waste networks as well as air emissions from target areas in real-time. Such network will consist of different sensing systems, working in different and complementary utilities and environments, Metal-Oxides (MOXs) sensors, Molecular Imprinted Polymers (MIPs), Liquid Chromatography with Mass Spectrometry and autonomous sampling (online LC/MS), fast Gas-Chromatography with Photoionization Detection (GC-PID) and commercial pH and conductivity sensors combined with passive sampling devices and integrated into SYSTEM through a centralised monitoring centre. The consortium will test and demonstrate functionality of SYSTEM in seven different European cities during three years of activities

Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) including information suppression concern a series of threatening behaviours in the information domain and represents a major challenge, in terms of counteraction and the policy-making in this matter. Numerous FIMI operations carried out by non-EU State and non-State actors, often recorded within and beyond EU borders, aims to domestically threaten fundamental rights and freedoms and could as well produce threatening effects outside of their borders. The RESONANT project aims to create a better picture and understanding of State and non-State actors applying information suppression and to recommend strategies, tools and methodologies to reduce the impact and the vulnerability of the target groups, as the Diaspora Communities. In order to understand which actors outside the EU use in a coordinated manner Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPS) of information suppression, RESONANT proposes to analyse information suppression incidents, thus creating an Evidence Base. Considering both the domestic and cross-border dimensions of information suppression, the project will also examine the mainly adopted TTPs, as well as the available Tools for their Detection and Analysis. For enhancing the knowledge regarding the effects of information suppression, RESONANT proposes an analysis of Behavioural changes in Diaspora Communities as result of information suppression and of the Awareness and Preparation of EU State Authorities in terms of practical legal means, providing selected Case Studies. Furthermore, the project will propose the definition of a Methodological Toolkit and Policy Recommendations, as well as the organisation of Table Top Exercises and Focus Group Policy Discussion, for addressing information suppression and FIMI. RESONANT will realise a Handbook of methodologies and policy recommendations, contributing to communicate and disseminate practical means to counter information suppression and FIMI.
