EU funding through the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM) supports projects with activities leading to improved disaster prevention and preparedness, shared knowledge and expertise, good practices and networking. Disaster risk management and civil protection organisations can apply for funding in projects that strengthen the capacity of organisations and systems in the prevention of crises, and preparedness for when they do happen.
What projects, exercises and trainings are included on the platform? We mainly support those funded under DG ECHO (e.g., KAPP call), but select other initiatives can be added as well per the Knowledge Network team's editorial decision and with the project officer's assistance. (For example, if a Horizon project bears significant and clear added value to the UCPM as well as is in alignment with the Knowledge Network's mission).
It is expected that the contracted project coordinators manage their project, exercise or training space independently and create content proactively in accordance with their grant agreement and the platform's Terms of Service. For editorial and technical guidance, see the User Guide.
