Development of CBRN training curriculum for first responders and medical staff across the European Union
The project has started in November 2018 and will run until 2021. During the three year project, a harmonised CBRN (Chemical Biological Radiology and nuclear ) training curriculum for first responders and medical staff will be developed and delivered for testing by the end-users.
The goal of the project is to define, develop and deploy a CBRN (Chemical Biological Radiology and nuclear ) training curriculum based on current needs and deficiencies, as experienced and expressed by first responders and medical staff. The principal idea is that a consolidated effort to prepare first responders for CBRN incidents will enhance efficiency, cross-border cooperation, and overall preparedness against CBRN threats across the union. The project consists of ten partners from nine countries.
RIVM is a partner of the consortium because of our knowledge and expertise in the CBRN field. We are responsible for two work packages and for setting up and filling the framework for the curriculum of the CBRN training.
