INHERIT
INHibitors Explosives and pRecursor InvesTigation
ODYSSEUS is a sister project with the project INHERIT, both targeting explosive precursors and the mitigation of their potential use in HME synthesis and terrorist attacks.
Over our projects’ durations we have had two common workshops, with technical and high level presentations, hosted partners from both projects in activities and exchanged many ideas on approach and challenges, and we’ve enjoyed a close cooperation which is reflected on our brilliant results.
Duration: 01.10.2021 – 31.09.2024
Programme: H2020
INHERIT proposes to develop a multi-disciplined approach to intervene across multiple stages of the terrorism timeline. INHERIT has assembled a multi-faceted team with experience of all aspects of four important steps in this timeline. With a focus on explosive precursor chemicals, the team will work to develop technologies directed towards thwarting the ability of terrorists to exploit these materials for production of explosives. Methodologies to render chemicals inert, more readily detectable and capable of yielding greater forensic value will all be pursued. Collaboration between the diverse teams developing these interventions will ensure a coordinated holistic approach across all threat materials identified. This holistic approach will also be applicable in the struggle against emerging and future Home Made Explosive (HME) threats.
The knowledge and insight resulting from INHERIT testing and analysis will be fed to targeted authorities, legislators, and organisations through a dissemination process which will include meetings, workshops and conferences conducted at appropriate security levels.

ODYSSEUS has established a link with the NOTIONES project. The link between the two projects will yield mutual benefits for the participants of both projects regarding information exchange, as well as outcome outreach to practitioners directly interested in relevant research.
Duration: 01.09.2021 – 31.08.2026
Programme: H2020
Novel technologies have presented practitioners with new opportunities to improve the intelligence process, but have also created new challenges and threats. Consequently, the timely identification of emerging technologies and analysis of their potential impact, not only on the intelligence community but also on terrorist or criminal organisations, is crucial. However, time constraints can prevent intelligence practitioners from being updated on the most recent technologies.
In order to address this challenge NOTIONES will establish a network, connecting researchers and industries with the intelligence community. This network will facilitate exchange on new and emerging technologies but also equip solution providers with insights on the corresponding needs and requirements of practitioners. The so gained findings will be disseminated in periodic reports containing technologic roadmaps and recommendations for future research projects and development activities.
For this, NOTIONES, coordinated by TECNALIA, combines the expertise of 29 partners from 21 different countries, including 15 military, civil, financial and judiciary practitioners as well as local, national and international law enforcement agencies.
