PREPSHIELD was proud to take part in the Projects to Policy Seminar (PPS)<\/strong> held in Brussels on 4\u20135 June 2025<\/strong>. Organised by the European Research Executive Agency (REA)<\/strong> and the European Commission\u2019s Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs (DG HOME)<\/strong>, the event gathered coordinators of newly launched civil security research projects from across Europe.<\/p>\n

Our project was represented by Monica Trentin<\/strong> (Universit\u00e0 del Piemonte Orientale \u2013 UPO, project coordinator) and Manelle Sokar<\/strong> (Euroquality \u2013 EQY, communication and dissemination leader).<\/p>\n

Connecting Research and Policy<\/h3>\n

The PPS offered PREPSHIELD an excellent platform to introduce our work to EU policymakers and fellow Horizon Europe projects. Through plenary sessions and interactive breakout groups, we had the opportunity to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Present PREPSHIELD\u2019s objectives and approach to inclusive health crisis preparedness<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Discuss with peers about common challenges, such as stakeholder engagement<\/strong> and effective communication in crisis settings<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Exchange with EU representatives on policy-relevant outputs and expectations for civil security research<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • \n

      Engagement matters:<\/strong> Strengthening links between research projects and diverse stakeholders is essential for effective preparedness and crisis management.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Policy relevance:<\/strong> The seminar provided valuable guidance on the types of deliverables and outputs that policymakers look for in EU-funded projects.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Collaboration potential:<\/strong> Meeting other projects working in the fields of disaster resilience, crisis communication, and civil security opened doors for future synergies.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Looking Ahead<\/h3>\n

        PREPSHIELD\u2019s participation at PPS 2025 was a significant step in ensuring that our project\u2019s outcomes will not only remain within the research community but also support EU-level decision-making and policy development<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        We thank REA, DG HOME, and all the participants for this inspiring event, and we look forward to continuing the dialogue in the months ahead.<\/p>\n
