EU research policy on information and communication technologies for disaster risk
reduction
Dr. Karen P. FABBRIICT for the Environment, DG INFSO
European Commission, [email protected]
European Commission
• Largest of the EU institutions– Propose and implement EU policies
• Made up of «Directorate Generals»– Policy DG’s and Research DG’s– The EC supports EU R&D via its « Framework Programmes »:
• Every 5 years (now in FP6 ~ 17.5 Billion Є)• R&D in support of EU policies & EU R&D policy (ERA)
• DG INFSO – promoting European research in Information & Communication Technologies (ICT)– ICT for Environmental Risk Management
•Main EU instrument to fund Community research
•Implemented through specific programmes and work programmes, periodic calls for proposals, independent evaluation
Community Framework Programmes
Promoting EU Research
• International and multidisciplinary applied research consortia, encouraging high end-user involvement
• By (co)financing RTD projects: Integrated Projects, Network of Excellence, Specific Targeted Research Projects, Coordination Actions, Specific Support Actions, including conferences, workshops, publications, Marie Curie fellowships, ERA-NET, Article 169, etc.
• Via specific « Calls for proposals »– See RTD INFO magazine at:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/rtdinfo/index_en.html

Disaster Risk Reduction
Current Environmental Issues
• Wolrdwide we are witnessing:– Continuing environmental degradation– Environmental impacts on human health and quality of life,– Increase in disaster risk
• The problems to be addressed:– Environmental and risk management are not well organised disciplines– No clear methodology to handle inter-related risks and environmental
impacts – Many service providers do not understand operational needs– Unclear organizational responsibility for information generation– Incompatible information systems– The access to relevant data is not easy– The current offering is incomplete and technology push could be
beneficial
Disasters in the EU policy context
• European Research: Framework Programme for RTD
• EU SD Strategy & EU’s 6th Environmental Action Programme: Civil Protection Community Action Program, Water Framework Directive, Forest Focus, marine pollution, Seveso II Directive, etc…
• Development & humanitarian aid, solidarity & cohesion funds (DG REGIO), Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP)
• Related international initiatives: GMES, INSPIRE, etc. GEO/GEOSS (EC in working groups & co-chair).

ICT FOR RISK MANAGEMENT
Information Society TechnologiesDG Information Society and Media
The IST Approach
• To contribute to the deployment of an eINFRASTRUCTURE for risk & emergency management in Europe
• To promote the development of cost-effective sustainable services– Technology integration – solution driven– Specific technological developments– Market & user needs driven
• Focus on generic solutions• Re-usable software components• Open source software• Interoperability, scalability
– Based on state-of-the-art scientific knowledge
• Criteria for R&D investment– will R&D open up new markets?– will the EU industry benefit?
ICT for Risk Management
Strategic Approach1:
• To cover the whole risk management cycle: Risk assessment, preparedness, early warning, alert, response, recovery, lessons learnt etc.
• To cover all environmental and industrial hazards, including systemic risks / cascading risks
• To focus on system architecture rather than specific applications thereby decreasing development & maintenance costs, whilst improving reliability, scalability and interoperability
ICT for risk management
Strategic Approach2:
• To support large scale pilot test with end-users
• To foster pre-standardisation activities as an integral part of research and technological development
• To promote “open source” as a mean to improve the uptake of research results
• To contribute to the relevant EU policies and actions: ie: INSPIRE, GMES, GEOSS
FP6 Ongoing Research Themes
• Risk information infrastructure and generic services• Emergency management and rescue operations• Humanitarian Demining• In-situ monitoring and smart sensor networks• RTD on public safety communication, alert systems and rapidly
deployable emergency telecommunications systems. • Specific support and coordination actions to achieve full
interoperability• Develop, validate and demonstrate a distributed tsunami early
warning and alert system, relevant to Europe & Indian Ocean.

ICT in FP7
Overarching vision: “To enable Europe to master and shape the future developments of ICT so that the demands of its society and economy are met”
– Competitive position of European ICT sector– ICT support to EU policies & EU Lisbon Strategy
•« Striking the right balance »:
– Reinforce leadership and open new fields– Mainstream ICT and push the limits of technology– Basic and applied research
ICT meeting Societal Challenges
• Application Research: ICT meeting societal challenges
« To ensure that all Europeans can reap the maximum benefit from ICT products and services of public interest … to strenghten the innovation role of public sector services, improving their efficiency and effectiveness. »• for health• for governments• for inclusion• for mobility• for the Environment and
Sustainable Growth
ICT for Env & Sust Growth
•ICT is needed to implement sustainable development…– Tools for implementing and assessing environmental
policies:– Climate change– Nature & biodiversity– Environment, health and quality of life– Natural resources and waste
– Tools for modern environmental administrations and civil protection agencies in Europe
– Tools for informing the citizens on the state of the environment
•… while maximising competitiveness– Better management of industrial processes– Reduction of environmental costs linked to
production– Compliance with environmental regulations at lowest
costs
6th Environment
Action Programme (2001-2010)
Specific Vision• ICT for Environmental and Sustainable Growth: Towards a safer and
healthier environment for all for: – ensuring environmental sustainability, energy efficiency and
quality of life– reducing environmental risks and their impact on human health,
mitigating natural and industrial disasters– Improving the sustainable use and management of natural
resources, including energy efficiency and production through intelligent and secure ICT infrastructures.
• There is a need to develop shared information infrastructures for environmental management which will promote best practices and standards for data, model and systems integration, interoperability and exchange, monitoring and decision making in strategic planning and emergency situations.
FP7 Specific Programme
