Description
The COLLARIS Network is excited to join forces with the DIREKTION project (Horizon Europe) again for a webinar on Friday, November 28, between 11.00 and 12.30 CET. The session will address the phenomenon that drones are increasingly used across Europe to support situational awareness, search and rescue, and post-disaster assessment. Yet their deployment in real operations still faces major challenges related to air traffic management, airspace coordination, and regulatory constraints. The webinar will, thus, explore how drones can be safely and effectively integrated into crisis management workflows.
The webinar is being organised with the support of the CMINE DRS Stakeholder Hub and will bring together emergency responders, researchers, air navigation service providers, and industry experts to discuss operational lessons, research insights, and pathways to enable more coordinated use of drones in emergencies.
