by Stephanie Lizotte
March 6, 2012

The Centres of Excellence on Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN CoE) risk mitigation is a European Union Initiative that is being implemented jointly by the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. The main aim of the Initiative is to facilitate regional cooperation to enhance CBRN policies and capabilities.

The Initiative has issued a Call for Proposals to seek competent national or international not-for-profit partner organizations for the implementation of projects within the framework of the CBRN Centres of Excellence Initiative. Projects are planned for specific geographic areas and include (with estimated program costs):

Identification and Strengthening of Forensic Capabilities in prevention of organized crime and trafficking of chemical agents (Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina) € 640,000

Building capacity to identify and respond to threats from CBRN substances (Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Macedonia) €160,000

Biosafety and Biosecurity Risk Management knowledge development and transfer of best practices (South East Asia, South East Europe, the Caucasus, Moldova and Ukraine, African Atlantic Façade, North Africa) €1,920,000

Inter-agency CBRN response knowledge development and transfer of best practices (South East Asia and South East Europe, the Caucasus, Moldova and Ukraine) €960,000

CBRN import/export monitoring knowledge development and transfer of best practices (African Atlantic Façade, North Africa, Middle East, Central Asia) €1,440,000
