The workshop will bring together a wide range of crisis and disaster end-users, security research stakeholders, civil society, first responders, crisis managers, public authorities, academia and industry. Stakeholder participation in this workshop is important.

The programme will be divided into the four following sessions:
Session I: towards a FP7 demonstration programme on crisis and disaster management
