What is Horizon 2020?

Horizon 2020 is the EU Research and Innovation programme that has been implemented from 2014 to 2020. H2020 contributes to addressing the main societal challenges, promote industrial leadership in Europe and strengthen an excellent science. The next EU Research and Innovation programme, Horizon Europe, will cover from 2021 to 2027 and will seek to promote science and technology in the European Union.

PROJECTS

How is ESDP involved in Horizon 2020?

The Spanish School of Rescue and Detection with Dogs (ESDP) is involved in several projects related safety issues.  ESDP is part of multidisciplinary and transnational consortia. As First Responders, we develop the end user´s role , establishing the K9 teams´needs.  We test technological solutions developed by the consortia partners . ESDP participates in pilots performing real emergency situations where technology is tested in real situations. In that way ESDP contributes to promote technological and suitable devices taking into account the real needs  and working conditions of the first responders.

The new EU  Research and Innovation programme is coming. ESDP looks forward to participating in Horizon Europe Programme on security and emergency issues. In addition, ESDP is starting to work on new research lines regarding environmental issues.
