IN-PREP will develop and integrate novel tools to enhance the Preparedness phase of transboundary crisis management through scenario building and response planning. Its main technological objective is to develop a metasystem that will be implemented and tested in realistic conditions to assess the effectiveness of the present framework and mechanisms to train for the unexpected. Since existing systems that support the organisations (governmental and non-governmental) are not only diverse but also very basic due to limited and fragmented budgets, IN-PREP proposes a state-of-the-art system that will overcome these limitations. This new platform will be designed with interoperability in mind, providing capabilities to exchange data in trans-organisation and transnational modes.
