Eureka Resilience Call 2024

About this event

Disaster Resilience, Response and Recovery. Disaster types covered: • ‘Man-made’, including widespread destruction resulting from conflict and war, urban fires, and industrial accidents of various kinds. • ‘Natural’, including avalanche, flooding, extreme cold and hot weather, drought, earthquake, storms, volcanic activity, and wildfire. Projects should address one of the application areas that follow, or any other that has clear links to disaster resilience, response and recovery: 1. Innovative and resilient construction. Such as: building behaviour modelling during and after disaster situations; seismic isolation/damper technologies; disaster-resilient architectural designs; advanced building materials and technologies (e.g. fire resistance, water resistance, shock resistance, non-toxic); durability-increasing adaptations. 2. Digital technologies. Such as: damage prediction and early-warning systems; advanced geographic information & remote sensing systems; artificial intelligence-based sensing algorithms; sensor technologies. 3. Search and rescue. Such as: automated and intelligent drone systems; rapid and effective search and rescue; portable equipment and devices capable of imaging and detection. 4. Resilient communications. Such as: non-interruptible communications systems; portable communications devices; battery technologies and alternative energy sources; resilient infrastructures and systems. 5. Health. Such as: disinfection, filtration and storage solutions; autonomous environmental disinfection & sterilisation; mobile medical devices; resilient health services and infrastructures; nutrient-enriched & functional foods and drinks. 6. Post-disaster waste management. Such as: safe demolition technologies; separation/classification & management solutions for construction and demolition waste (CDW); transformation of CDW into building materials and other secondary raw materials in line with circular economy principles.
