From the 12th until the 13th of June 2024, the Research and Development team of VANOS S.A.  actively engaged in the 2nd Table-Top and Small-Scale Exercise, in the Co-Creation Workshop as well as the consortium meeting, under the scope of the TeamUP project, at Campus Vesta in Ranst, Belgium.

This two-day joint activity, included the participation of CBRNe experts and non-experts in the Table Top Exercise, that simulated a chemical explosion in a collapsed building with participants engaging in SaR, DIM, resource Management, communication and Public relations and Decon.

The Small Scale Exercises focused on 5 scenarios including DIM-B in a public building, Donning and Doffing procedure, communication, DIM-R in traffic accident with radiologic source and triage.

Moreover, use cases, the tasks of each work package and the next steps of the project going forward were discussed, marking a significant milestone in our collaborative efforts to enhance emergency response capabilities of First Responders.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our esteemed partners at Campus Vesta for their exemplary hospitality and for providing an invaluable update on the latest methodologies in CBRNe incidents.

Stay tuned for more updates on our journey ahead!

 

 

VANOS S.A. was happy to attend the “CERIS Annual Event 2024: Disaster-Resilient Societies – From Local to International Cooperation” which was held in Brussels, Belgium, from the 5th until the 7th of June.

The event emphasized the importance of local and international cooperation in disaster risk reduction and resilience, and facilitated valuable exchanges of ideas among policy-makers, scientists, practitioners, SMEs and civil society organizations. This event is crucial to strengthening interagency, intercountry, cross-sector relationships and enhancing knowledge sharing, with the goal of fostering more effective and comprehensive disaster preparedness and response strategies.

In that respect, it was an honor to see the TeamUP Project being showcased among over 25 EU research and capacity-building initiatives.

 

 

 

From the 4th until the 5th of June 2024, VANOS S.A. along with I-SENSEGroup/ICCS & Johanniter International proudly showcased our latest & upcoming technologies through the TeamUP project at the European Civil Protection Forum 2024 in Brussels, Belgium, which is organised biennially by the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO).

Our stand, where NIGHTINGALE Project & MED1stMR were also presented, provided an excellent platform to engage with a diverse range of stakeholders, including government officials, civil protection authorities, first responders, EU institutions, the scientific community, as well as the private sector.

The forum facilitated valuable discussions on disaster resilience and aimed at enhancing civil protection and disaster response capabilities.

The highlights from our recent participation as an exhibitor at Posidonia 2024 Exhibition, held from 3^rd to 7^th of June 2024 in Athens, Greece, are thrilling to share. Our Research and Development department proudly showcased the latest advancements in maritime security, including cutting-edge 3D reconstruction algorithms, and sophisticated AI-driven surveillance platforms, using state-of-the-art UAV technologies, designed to enhance maritime monitoring and response capabilities.

Our booth attracted a wide array of interested parties from both the maritime and research communities; Maritime professionals were particularly interested in the AI algorithms that ensure more accurate and timely responses to potential threats, while Researchers appreciated the depth of our technological innovations that provide detailed and precise imaging for various applications in maritime security.

We would like to express our most sincere appreciation for your kind attendance at our Stand and the constructive communication with the VANOS S.A. Team, as well as the Representatives of our esteemed partners. We anticipate continuing these conversations and advancing our shared goals in maritime safety and security.
