User Observatory Group

One of SHIELD4CROWD’s priorities is to establish a large base of security practitioners, beyond Consortium partners, to be actively involved in project activities and foster a bi-directional communication and exchange of knowledge and expertise. The practitioners will form the SHIELD4CROWD User Observatory Group.

We formed the UOG to engage a wider community of practitioners into the project and ensure the project’s outputs respond as much as possible to end user’s needs. We are looking for stakeholders who deal with the protection of public spaces. Your knowledge and perspective are incredibly valuable for the SHIELD4CROWD Team!

We invite you to participate at online/physical workshops, and when it's physical, we cover all travel expenses.

Membership in the UOG is a unique opportunity to join a PCP project! The UOG members will have the opportunity to join the Group of Potential Buyers (GPB), and thus to participate in the elaboration of a Pre-Commercial Procurement EU funding project under the call “HORIZON-CL3-2024-SSRI-01-01: Demand-led innovation through public procurement” for an estimated budget of EUR 5 million. If you're facing crowd management threats for which you're hoping for an improved technological response, this is your chance to make yourself, your team heard and help orient reflexion and research work in the best direction.

The User Observatory Group has already been opened. We look forward to your submission. SHIELD4CROWD project lasts 12 months and the first physical meeting will take place on September 07, 2023. Therefore, don’t waste your time and join us now!
