Stair4Security is a three-year Horizon 2020 Project (2019-2021) funded by the European Union to develop an expert platform setting a mechanism of coordination of research-related standardisation activities in the security sector.
Both, public and private stakeholders require adequate solutions in organization, procedures and technological capabilities to be able to respond timely and effectively. Thus, there is a need to develop specific standards to enable the various public and private organizations within Europe, being local, national, European or international to be effectively coordinated ensuring as much as possible a smoothly cooperation before, during and after a disruptive event.
The main objective of STAIR4SECURITY is to create a collaborative platform as single entry point of information on the security sector coming mostly from research activities allowing a better governance of standardization needs in the Disaster Resilience and Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNe) sectors. The platform will permit a better overview of current and new projects being at, national, European or International level; ensuring more coordination between all stakeholders and responding more efficiently and timely to the critical needs following an agreed strategic vision and identified priorities.
The platform and eLearning technology validation process is also vital in ensuring that the STAIR4SECURITY Final Event will deliver an overview of comprehensive, relevant tools that can be used by the CBRN/DRR Community.
In December 2020, the Consortium proudly released an early alpha version of both the STAIR4SECURITY platform and the associated eLearning tool. Members of the European Disaster Risk Resilience community, including CBRN, are presently working with us to improve the outcome of both the platform and the eLearning tool.
The poll was designed and written in such a way as to raise awareness on the importance of interoperability for EU research results outputs particularly for these sectors.
Engagement with policymakers and people enforcing CBRNe/DRR preparedness and response is the focal point of STAIR4SECURITY.
Over the past months, the Stair4Security team has worked relentlessly on the development of the Stair4Security platform and the supporting elearning tool. The Stair4Security framework is built as a single-entry point governance eco-system to support research, innovation and standardization in the DRR/CBRNe sectors.
Stair4Security was delighted to be included in the latest edition of the European Commission’s CBRN Newsletter, issued at the beginning of this month. The newsletter provides CBRN-relevant update at EU level, and consists of a description of work carried out to date as a means of keeping informed the research community of first responders’ needs to CBRN incidents.
We are pleased to announce that our first Meeting of Minds and second webinar took place last Friday, May 29 as part of the project’s engagement process.
We are pleased to announce that our first webinar, presenting the STAIR4SECURITY Platform took place last Friday, April 24 as part of the project’s engagement process.
This second STAIR4SECURITY newsletter gives you an overview of the project’s objectives and its progress to date, including the ongoing engagement and cross-fertilization with other Horizon 2020 projects.
Karl Gruen discusses with FAC’s Anna Yankulova what attracted him to the Stair4Security project and how standardisation has changed over the years.
Stair4Security and INCLUDING discuss common grounds between the two projects and possible cross-fertilisation to address the concerns of security standardisation and CBRNe.
We are delighted to present the full programme for the NO-FEAR and STAIR4SECURITY Joint Conference, which will be held in Rome on November 23rd, 2019.
We are very pleased to announce the NO-FEAR and STAIR4SECURITY Joint Conference, which will be held in Rome on November 23rd, 2019.
Stair4Security and NO-FEAR discuss common grounds between the two projects, and how they can work together to address the concerns of security standardisation and CBRNe.
The STAIR4SECURITY project is coordinated by CEN bringing together a comprehensive, experienced and multi‐disciplinary team with a highly diverse expertise and skills set. The STAIR4SECURITY project has 9 organisations across 7 countries.
