The audience was particularly interested in the possibility offered by the proposed framework of allowing PPDR agencies to achieve a cross-national interoperability.

First ISITEP workshop held on 18-19 May 2016 in Brussels, during 14th Public Safety Communication Europe (PSCE) Forum.

Public safety stakeholders from 16 countries were present, consisting of public safety communication end users, ministries, network operators, technology developers and research organizations.

The key PSCE conference themes were:

  • Future communication networks 
  • Pan European Information Space
  • Handling emergency
  • How Copernicus and Galileo services support crisis management?

Ethical, Legal and Social Issues (ELSI) ISITEP project has been brought to the attention of PSCE participants with the presentation “Global solution for interoperability between PPDR communications systems”, during the “Future communication networks” session.

Within the several aspects of the project, the audience has been particularly interested in the possibility offered by the proposed framework of allowing PPDR agencies to achieve a cross-national interoperability that in the short term leverages existing technologies, but in the long term is also open to the benefits offered by emerging technologies.
