The first workshop day started with the project presentation and the status quo of the project, followed by technical inputs on industrial accidents (lecture by Dr. Thomas Lischnig, Head of Chemical Alarm Service Styria) and insights as well as discussions on processes during incidents (input and moderation by IRIS). Subsequently, the topics "Systems and models for estimating the dispersion of hazardous substances" (lead: ZAMG) and "Emergency communication and dealing with uncertainties" (lead: DCNA) were discussed in two small groups. In this interactive part of the workshop many open questions could be clarified and valuable inputs could be collected.
Day two was dedicated to the internal project review of the previous day and the definition of the next steps. Essential questions concerning the B.PREPARED platform to be developed were discussed in order to finalize its requirements catalog.
The next workshop of all consortium partners is scheduled for September 2022 and will probably take place at the premises of ZAMG in Vienna.
