Progetto Europeo BRIGAID

BRIdges the GAp for Innovations in Disaster resilience (2016-2020)

Programma di finanziamento:

European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 700699.

Abstract

BRIGAID aims to become the quality label for the development of innovations for climate adaptation and risk reduction from climate-related disaster impacts in Europe and beyond.

BRIGAID clears the path to deliver innovations on floods, droughts and extreme weather to the market through the assessment and improvement of: Technical + Social + Market Readiness. By advancing these three factors simultaneously, BRIGAID smoothens the development path, because technical, social and market requirements can be incorporated in the design, business model and market approach early on.

BRIGAID aims to engage with a broad range of end-users to fully incorporate their requirements in the process of guiding innovations from prototype to market-ready products. BRIGAID commits to take into consideration the needs of all types of end users through:

  1. Involvement of end-users in the identification and testing of most promising innovations.
  2. Creation of local ‘communities of innovation’ (coi’s) where different users can share their experiences and engage with other coi’s and innovators to foster mutual learning.
  3.  Participation in the design and implementation of demonstration events.
