Welcome to CBRN CoE website

A coordinated strategy for CBRN risk mitigation

EU CBRN Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence (CBRN CoE) project, launched in 2010, is an Initiative of the European Union. It is implemented jointly by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI).

The creation of the CBRN CoE aims to implement a coordinated strategy for CBRN risk mitigation at international, regional and national levels.

The origin of the risk can be criminal (proliferation, theft, sabotage and illicit trafficking), accidental (industrial catastrophes, in particular chemical or nuclear, waste treatment and transport) or natural (mainly pandemics).
