Abstract

This paper presents how a multinational research project can act as a platform for multi-discipline learning environment and how a research project and student works can benefit from each other. The paper shows how three student works are integrated in the Multi-Agency Cooperation In Cross-border Operations (MACICO) project. The students are creating scenario exercises that will be held for demonstrating the MACICO projects outcomes. The scenarios include a public safety communications network in extreme conditions, solutions in crowd management and real-time event coordination, and a use of social media in crisis communication.
