Today, 17th May, a Workshop on Common Information Space<\/strong> has been held during the\u00a0“7th Event of Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient Societies”. The Community of Users, supported by the European Commission, aims at reducing the current fragmentation in security research and at facilitating information exchanges among and between policy-makers, research, industry (including SMEs), practitioners (first responders, civil protection units etc.), and the general public. The EU, through the Community of Users, wants to\u00a0strenghten its\u00a0capacities in disaster risk and crisis management, as well as to improve resilience in CBRN-E (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive) and natural and man-made disaster management.<\/p>\n

The CoU agenda<\/h2>\n

The Community of Users Event was held on 15th May, with a session dedicated to end-users and one focussed on cyber security of critical infrastructures. It was followed by two days of related thematic Workshops.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, CBRNE events (Nuclear – Biological – Chemical – Radiological – Explosive) represented the main topic, with also the on-going National CoU actions being addressed.<\/p>\n

Today was the last day of the event, and it included 3 parallel sessions: chemical hazards, Common Information Space and standardisation.<\/p>\n

Each session was attended by representatives of\u00a0European Commission, research institutes and industries, as well as members of on-going EU-funded projects.<\/p>\n
