Research project at a glance

CBRN incidents and resulting casualties are a permanent threat across the continent. In past incidents, First Responders were often required to provide help without having conducted sufficient training on how to operate in CBRN incidents. Moreover, First Responders seldom are aware of the risks that CBBN material poses to their health. The management of a CBRN scene including the recovery of persons concerned requires standard operating procedures, advanced skills and suitable equipment. A step-by-step approach needs to include (1) detection of the CBRN threat, (2) triage of casualties and (3) on-site decontamination before the provision of medical aid. The aim is to establish a unified framework for evaluating capabilities, procedures and co-developed solutions to be used in CBRN-E preparedness and response.

Project Description

To address this challenge TeamUP project brings together 23 partners, including Universities, Research Centers, NGOs, Emergency Responders, Agencies, and Companies from the European Union. TeamUP will analyse how First Responders can meet operating requirements. It will then develop and test innovative technologies for the detection, identification, and monitoring of hazardous material, as well as for the monitoring of the health status of First Responders. Moreover, TeamUP will integrate tools for triage and decontamination along with modules for collaborative and digitized Planning, Response and Training. Next to the training and equipment of First Responders, TeamUP aims to raise awareness for CBRN incidents in the general public, making our societies more resilient. By bringing together practitioners (training centres, FRs, experts and non-experts) from a broad range of disciplines and regions, the project will develop holistic products, accounting for the needs of end users.
