EXERTER - Security of Explosives pan-European Specialists Network
Security of Explosives pan-European Specialists Network — EXERTER, was a 5-year project that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no.786805. The EXERTER project has connected 20 practitioners from 13 EU member states into a network of explosives specialists.
The EXERTER Network aimed at identifying and promoting innovative methodologies, tools and technologies that offer solutions in the fight against terrorism and serious crime, i.e. enhancing the overall Security of Explosives. The core of the EXERTER network brought together experts coming from Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) and Military Institutes, Governmental and Civilian Research Institutes, Academia and Standards Organisations.
Annual themes addressed challenges such as criminal use of explosives, terrorist incidents in public transportation, vehicle borne explosives, etc. and brought together expertise on challenges and possible solutions. The project led to many identified needs and suggestions for improvements, both technical and policy- and law-related.
