Targeted innovative capabilities for the resilience of critical entities to natural and human-induced disasters, including hybrid scenarios

Call UE del programma Horizon Europe (HORIZON), bando "Civil Security for Society 2026" (HORIZON-CL3-2026-01). Tipo di azione: HORIZON Innovation Actions. Stato: aperta. Prossima scadenza: 05/11/2026 (single-stage). Testo ufficiale (in inglese): Scope: Recent compound and cascading disasters have demonstrated the urgent need to reinforce the resilience of critical entities against a wide spectrum of hazards, including both human-induced incidents, natural events such as floods, wildfires, earthquakes, and storms, and natural hazard triggered technological (NaTech) accidents, including hybrid scenarios. The vulnerability of key infrastructures is exacerbated by their growing interdependencies and the systemic propagation of risks across sectors and borders. In this context, ensuring the monitoring, protection and continuity of essential services has become fundamental to preserving and enhancing societal resilience. This topic aims to support the development and demonstration of targeted high-tech capabilities that address specific preparedness, operational, and recovery gaps in the resilience of critical entities[1] under multi-hazard and NaTech conditions. It calls for moving beyond generic resilience frameworks toward sector-specific, interoperable, and modular technological and governance solutions that can be deployed and tested in realistic operational settings. Proposals should be grounded in existing risk assessments and draw on lessons learned from recent disruptive…
