EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In a world facing a growing risk of man-made and natural disasters resulting from increasingly frequent and severe natural, industrial and man-made hazards, the security of citizens, infrastructure and assets and the environment protection have become a high priority in the European Union. Strengthening capacities in disaster risk / crisis management and improving resilience in the fields of CBRN-E (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive) and natural and man-made disaster management, as well as in the areas of border security and the fight against crime and terrorism, represent key EU policy and research challenges. The overall EU security policy framework covers many different sectors, which require coordination among various communities. In this respect, policy development and implementation rely on effective interactions among policy-makers, research, industry (including SMEs) and operational actors (first responders, civil protection units, police forces etc.) in the EU Member States. This requires a proper exchange of information and communication about either policy updates or (research) project results, which should be tailor-made to different sectors concerned with the goal of enhancing the transfer of research solutions or new policy recommendations to users in a timely and relevant fashion. Such exchanges are also needed to identify and address users' needs regarding research, technologies and policies, in order to better design funding programmes at an EU level. Finally, a proper transfer of knowledge from research to policy and operational sectors may have a positive impact on policy formulation and review. However, the policy complexity, the high number of research projects, the difficulties associated with bringing innovative tools to the market and the lack of "interfacing" mechanisms make it difficult to efficiently reach these goals. In order to improve this situation, the European Commission is funding various types of projects, including large- scale demonstration projects. In the field of Disaster Risk and Crisis Management (including CBRN-E, natural and man-made disasters), large-scale projects have helped build a critical mass by federating efforts at an EU level, namely "EDEN" and "DRIVER", as well as other projects which have an "interfacing" component. These projects, along with different policy committees and think-tanks, develop networks with user's groups in the Member States which have great potential but are currently too fragmented. In this respect, the need to build a “Community of Users” in the EU based on existing user's communities has been expressed in various fora.
