"E-SPONDER: A holistic approach towards the first responder of the future" held its kick off meeting in Athens on July 3-5, 2010

E-Sponder (FP7-242411) is an European FP7 Large Scale Integrated Project under objective SEC-2009.4.2.1: First Responder of the future. The project started on July 1, 2010 and has a duration of 48 months. 

E-SPONDER is a suite of real-time data-centric technologies that will provide information and communication support to first responders which act during normal and abnormal events (crises). The project  will investigate the use of interoperable communications that will facilitate the uninterruptible link between the first responders at the operations theatre and the crisis managers at the Emergency Operations Center.
