The NEMAUSUS project (Network of European Multihazard cApacities hUb of Scientifics Understanding and Sharing) will provide preliminary settings of a European Centre of Expertise (CoE) dedicated to forest and wildfires.
This Centre will rely on an existing French civil protection base in Nîmes-Garons (France) as the main entity of a system gathering knowledge related to this topic within the Union, and will be able to integrate already existing dedicated infrastructures of the voluntary EU Member States.
The project should allow to design, develop and implement this wildland and forest fires dedicated centre of expertise in the future as a pilot project for the Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network relying on the principles of “Connect, Share and Grow”. It will be open to all Member States and possibly to neighbourhood policy countries to contribute to the 2 pillars of the knowledge network in the scope of forest/wildfires: capacity development and science.
