> provide standardisation of rescuer identity, skills and
credential to allow interoperable command and control
cooperation for a more efficient international
cooperation.
> address the use of virtual live exercises and other
simulation-supported training methods, in particular
multi-hazards training simulators, the development of
appropriate and sufficient methods and tools for
structured ways of lessons learned analysis, exchange
and integration into planning and training, and on the
education side the development of international degree
courses and standards for crisis management leaders
aimed at excellence would be recommended.

decision making
> The rapidly increasing amount of data available needs
accurate compilation depending on processes, workflows
and most important the individual needs of the user.
Each person develops a very personal model to cope with
information overflow. “One size fits all” will not be
appropriate for future amounts of data.
With the increasing amount of available
information coming from more and more
sophisticated sensor systems on the one hand
and by means of information sharing with
other organisations on the other research on
crisis management processes and workflows
together with human factor issues shall
improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the
crisis managers.

Research should support the process of adaptation of
these concepts to the new challenges two-fold:
> on the one hand, modern management concepts and
tools and their possible use for innovating crisis
management concepts should be assessed, understood
and exploited (e.g. adaptive complexity management),
and ultimately a comprehensive, integrative, general
conceptual, theoretical framework for adaptive crisis
management should be developed.
> On the other hand, novel system of systems
approaches like the NEC (network enabling capabilities)
concept should be analysed for civil security applications
and related capabilities should be developed.
The idea of innovative concepts is that the
changing security environment with its
inherent uncertainties and emerging new
challenges for security forces require not only
improved strategic planning capabilities, but
also continuous reviewing of current crisis
management concepts.
