EU CBRN CoE P101 Project: Safeguarding CBRN Critical Infrastructures
The P101 Project has officially started with the Kick-off Meeting held in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, from 1-3 October 2024. The project’s objectives are to enhance and strengthen the protection and security of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Critical Infrastructures across Southeast & Eastern Europe (SEEE), Central Asia (CA), and the Middle East (MIE). These infrastructures are essential to public safety, national security, and economic stability, yet they face a wide range of threats, including cyberattacks, physical attacks, and natural disasters.
Under the leadership of Mr. Alexandre Custaud, the P101 project adopts advanced tools such as space-based technologies and analytics, digital twins, cybersecurity & AI.
❏ Digital twins will play a critical role in simulating and monitoring CBRN infrastructures, providing real-time data to detect vulnerabilities, and improve response strategies to both physical & cyber threats.
Legal analysis activities will focus on ensuring compliance with national and international regulations, addressing potential legal gaps, and aligning the security measures of CBRN infrastructures with relevant standards.
Collaboration with national agencies and experts from 19 participating countries will be essential in developing tailored solutions to protect these critical infrastructures.
By tackling both physical and cyber threats, P101 aims to strengthen the resilience and security of CBRN critical infrastructures, ensuring their ongoing protection in the face of evolving risks.
A heartfelt thank you to all our partners for making this event a great success through insightful exchanges and collaboration.
The P101 project is implemented by the ISTC (International Science and Technology Center) – under the EU CBRN CoE initiative, led by the Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI) of the EU, with support from the JRC - European Commission and UNICRI - United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute.
