This presentation discusses the issue of bridging science, policy, industry and practitioners communities as well as the citizen dimension for enhancing disaster resilience. It focuses on the development and consolidation of the Community of Users (CoU) on Secure, Safe and Resilient Societies, an exchange platform of the European Commission. The CoU is an initiative from DG Home and aims to create a platform to exchange information on research results and policy updates between policy-makers, researchers and end-users on a European, national and regional level. Its motivation lies on the fact that there is a large span of policies and research projects users, leading to fragmentation of information and lost opportunities regarding possible synergies. There is a strong need to boost awareness about research projects and policy developments. Besides, user’s needs are often insufficiently targeted and should be considered in the light of research programming. Links among scientific outputs and policy objectives are often lacking and there is a need to strengthen cooperation and dialogue among the different communities. This presentation will highlight current research programming and perspectives in Horizon Europe and policy implementation.
