ForAn in a nutshell

ForAn is building a network of research-based German practitioners from the areas of police emergency response, non-police emergency response and KRITIS operators. In this context, civil security research is strengthened as a strategic instrument for practitioners in order to be better prepared for future challenges. ForAn supports its members in obtaining European funding from the research and innovation framework program Horizon Europe. Applied civil security research only works in a three-way partnership between practitioners, research institutes and industry. If you are a user, research institution or company, we invite you to contact us in order to make our society more resilient in the future through research.

Practitioners

ForAn is a network by practitioners for practitioners. Are you a police authority, fire department, disaster control organization, KRITIS operator, or other organization with civil security tasks? Then you can become a member free of charge and make your civil security research more professional.

Research institutions
