On November 28th, ULSAC held the final demonstration of the ENTRUST project, which has been underway since January 2023, through a simulation and video recording of a patient’s journey in an emergency setting. The initiative focused on ambulance monitoring and the secure transmission of real-time clinical data to the hospital, Ler mais…
On November 4th 2025, Marco Manso (from PARTICLE) presented the SEAGUARD Interoperability Framework at the 30th edition of the International Command and Control Research Technology Symposium, hosted by the Swedish Defence University in collaboration with the Swedish Defence Research Agency and organised by the International Command and Control Institute. Gathering Ler mais…
A CWA on CBRNe SENSOR API – Network Protocols, Data Formats and Interfaces, was initiated to promote standardisation of the Sensor API. This workshop was coordinated by Ulrike Schröder and Yusuf Yilmaz (DIN), chaired by Marco Manso (PARTICLE) and co-chaired by Roberto Chirico (ENEA)
From February 12th to 14th, PARTICLE joined in the first Pan-European Mobile Emergency Application (PEMEA) Plugtests™ event that brought together in Sophia Antipolis, France, sixteen organisations from across Europe, in an initiative organised by ETSI in partnership with the PEMEA Consortium.

Major emergencies have increased in complexities and scale. They have become more severe in magnitude and societal repercussions. They cross borders and affect the livelihoods of local and global communities. To increase resilience and disaster protection in the European Union, it is imperative to use the most advanced technology and Ler mais…
The increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters require policies aimed at tackling these risks through preventive, preparedness, response and recovery actions. Increasing the resilience of infrastructure, ecosystems and society in the EU is an important strand of disaster risk management work. It is from this need that VALKYRIES was born, a project financed by the Ler mais…
PARTICLE is involved in the deployment of the highest density sensor network dedicated to monitor seismic activity in Portugal. The network will be constituted by hundreds of sensors in the region of Évora. It will monitor strong seismic activity in real-time, allowing the generation of live shake maps. Importantly, the network is expected to: Enhance the knowledge on the characterisation of the seismic activity in the region through high-resolution mapping of clusters and faults; 2) Create an organised database populated with live data from the high-density seismic network; 3) Rapid assess ground shaking movements (e.g., earthquake); 4) Improve geohazard assessments.
In case of emergency situations, it is critical to rapidly develop situational awareness. In numerous past incidents, the use of crowdsourcing tools has proven useful in collecting field information, locating citizens in need and manage the incident.
