DAREnet: Deliverable D4.3 – 2nd Workshop of Topic Working Groups

Kurzfassung

This deliverable presents the results from the second Workshop of the Topic Working Groups (TWG) on 24 - 25 Sept. 2019 at “ÖRK Lagezentrum” in Vienna/ Austria. In contrast to the broader scope of the first DAREnet roadmapping cycle, this cycle concentrated on the identification of innovation opportunities for training aspects. In preparation of this workshop, a webinar about a realistic flooding scenario was held on 3 July 2019. The scenario featured different levels of escalation in the crisis management cy-cle and clearly defines underlying challenges and tasks. For further analysis, a question-naire was compiled for gathering data and practitioners view towards innovation potentials towards training with respect to the challenges and tasks described in the scenario. The preliminary analysis of this questionnaire formed the basis for World Café discussions dur-ing the workshop, where groups of practitioners from different domains, organisations and countries shared and reflected their own experiences and findings. In general, it was found out from the discussions during the workshop that training is not seen equally relevant in all sub-domains of crisis management. However, all these analysis suffer from weak statistics due to the limited number of participants, although all countries of the Danube River basin, all command levels and a broad spectrum of experience is in-cluded in the evaluation. In the follow-up of the second DAREnet TWG Workshop our next steps will include the finalisation of the analysis of the questionnaire and the contributing the findings to the DAREnet Knowledge Base. The provision of the innovation opportunities relates to the next step in the DAREnet roadmapping cycle, where the identified results will be taken up by the Innovation Assessment done in WP5.
