14-15/12/2016 - Smart@Fire Final Conference (Brussels)

Every year, more than 100 firefighters lose their lives whilst saving others. To reduce the risks associated with firefighting, innovative ICT solutions need to be developed and integrated in a smart Personal Protective System.

However, the ICT solutions that are currently available on the market are not fully satisfactory. The SMART@FIRE project has investigated the possibility of developing these technologies using a method of innovative procurement known as pre-commercial procurement (PCP).

This conference will highlight the key results and findings of the project, with panel debates, lessons learnt and interactive discussion amongst all relevant stakeholders.

Preliminary program
The following topics will be dealt with:
- Looking back at the project’s progress
- Introduction of the PCP methodology
- Panel discussion on the results of each of the three PCP phases
- The final results of the project including a presentation of the prototypes
- Procurers network round table
- Introduction to the Enprotex Association
- Lessons learnt from Smart@fire
- The continuation of the existing collaboration after the project’s end.
