EU HORIZON Projects - Nutcracker

EU R&D Projects

Nutcracker is responsible for testing new technologies under dev citizen and end user research programmes on a number EU Research & Development projects. We research new technology under development ensuring that the product development keeps citizen needs at the forefront.

CARISMAND researched the impact on cultural factors on citizen response during natural and man-made disasters and after-crisis recovery.

Nutcracker Market Research carried out research with 600 citizens and 150 emergency responders using large-scale workshops across six EU cities.

Our findings were directly fed into the development of the CARISMAND online tool for use by emergency responders in EU countries.
