DRIVER+ starts from the experience that neither successful R&D nor strong end-user demand always lead to innovation in the Crisis Management (CM) domain. DRIVER+ has three main objectives:

• Develop a pan-European Test-bed for crisis management capability development: it will provide the technological infrastructure, the necessary supporting methodology and adequate support tools.
• Develop a well-balanced comprehensive portfolio of crisis management solutions: the Portfolio of Solutions (PoS) is a database driven web site that documents all the available DRIVER+ solutions.
• Facilitate a shared understanding of crisis management across Europe: this will boost Europe’s ability to continue adapting to new threats and emerging needs, laying the basis for a continuously resilient EU and providing a mechanism to drive innovation in European CM by bridging the gap from practitioners need and R&D to the market.
