Engagement with EU CBRN Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence Initiative
UNICRI, within the framework of the European Union Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence (EU CBRN CoE) Initiative, invites academic, as well as research and training institutions, to express their interest in engaging with the Initiative and its partner countries to strengthen global capacities for the prevention, detection and response to CBRN risks.
The EU CBRN CoE Initiative, funded by the European Union, supports more than 60 partner countries across multiple regions through capacity-building, training, policy development, and technical cooperation. Recognizing the important role of knowledge sharing and research within the field of CBRN risk mitigation, the Initiative seeks to enhance dialogue and collaboration with these stakeholders.
This call aims to identify and engage academic, research, and training institutions interested in contributing their expertise through knowledge sharing, consultations, awareness-raising activities, and broader cooperation with the EU CBRN CoE Initiative and its Partner Countries, in line with its objectives of strengthening CBRN safety, security, and resilience.
Participation in this framework offers academic stakeholders the opportunity to contribute to global risk mitigation efforts while gaining access to a unique multilateral platform. Participating institutions may benefit from enhanced visibility within international CBRN networks, opportunities to promote research tools, and interaction with government counterparts across more than 60 partner countries, as well as potential participation in training, research, and knowledge exchange activities.
Important Disclaimer: Participation in this call does not constitute a procurement process, nor does it imply any contractual relationship.
Interested institutions are invited to submit their expression of interest by completing the registration form, in accordance with the indicated requirements.
Expressions of Interest will be reviewed by the EU CBRN CoE Initiative based on their relevance to the Initiative’s objectives and priorities, as well as the demonstrated expertise and experience of the applicant institutions. Consideration will also be given to the operational capacity to deliver proposed contributions, the potential impact and sustainability of the activities, and the willingness to engage in collaborative partnerships with the Initiative and its partner countries.
