Research Initiative (SRI) PSCE - Public Safety Communication Forum Europe PSCE - Public Safety Communication Forum Europe (www.publicsafetycommunication.eu) (www.publicsafetycommunication.eu)www.publicsafetycommunication.eu SRI is engaged in aggregating and benchmarking research projects results of different research projects and initiatives into one cohesive vision for the European research roadmap and development strategy platforms addressing safety, emergency and crisis management. SRI is engaged in aggregating and benchmarking research projects results of different research projects and initiatives into one cohesive vision for the European research roadmap and development strategy platforms addressing safety, emergency and crisis management. This initiative will be the voice and space of the safety researchers to come to disseminate and cross-network with peers to define future first responders requirements, evolution of standards, evolution of Safety technologies This initiative will be the voice and space of the safety researchers to come to disseminate and cross-network with peers to define future first responders requirements, evolution of standards, evolution of Safety technologies
