ANYWHERE Hands-on demonstration and Final Workshop
ANYWHERE project is organizing a Hands-on demonstration and Final Workshop in Brussels (Belgium) on 29th-30th October 2019.
The Hands-on demonstration (29th October 2019) will show the developments achieved by ANYWHERE allowing participants to use the operational platform running in real-time in the 7 project pilot sites, and on selected pre-recorded case-studies (relevant emergency events). It will represent a great opportunity to offer interested potential users a dedicated insight on the ANYWHERE tools and impact forecasting products / services through the possibility to explore by themselves the operational versions running in real-time (participants joining the activity shall bring their own laptops).
The main purpose of the ANYWHERE Final Workshop is to showcase the project advancements and operational tools and products as well as to discuss them with the external institutions including the Stakeholders and the Commercial Associates of the project, as well as other first responders, policy makers and professionals of the disaster risk management sector. Round tables to promote discussion among participants plus parallel live exhibits displaying the ANYWHERE developments on large screens will allow participants knowing more about the change of paradigm in emergency response introduced by ANYWHERE.
Participants are invited to present POSTERS showing their own work in the same area of the exhibits.
