Current Projects

The increase in weather events such as extreme heat and heavy rain poses new challenges for rescue services, hospitals, fire departments and disaster control in Germany. Through AIRCIS, we want to strengthen the resilience of public services in the area of healthcare and mobility in Lusatia. The project will run for three years and is funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport as part of the mFund programme.

The Horizon Europe project CEDAR – Common European Data Spaces and Robust AI for Transparent Public Governance will use three case studies in Italy, Slovenia and Ukraine to develop methods, tools and guidelines for the automatic digitisation of data sources existing in public administration to combat corruption.

In this project, which is funded by the Saxon State Ministry of the Interior, the BIGS is working together with the Neue Köhler Management Gesellschaft and the IABG to create and conduct citizen surveys. The aim of the project is to analyse the security situation in the Free State of Saxony and, in particular, to record the perception of security of the population living there. 

Millions of citizens across Europe use the Internet and social media every day to read news and search for information. Unfortunately, there are actors who take advantage of these tools to spread disinformation and manipulate public opinion. This creates distrust of science, journalists, and government agencies. Comprising a set of innovative technological developments, FERMI will facilitate European Police Authorities to detect and monitor the way that Disinformation and Fake News spread, both in terms of locations and within different segments of the society, and to put in place relevant security countermeasures.

The Horizon Europe project MARCONNECT brings together a strong consortium of thirteen partners from eight countries, spanning industry, research, and public authorities, to develop innovative, data-driven solutions that strengthen security, efficiency, and cooperation in the maritime domain.

The project REDIKOM – Resilience of Digital Municipalities in Times of Crisis, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research from 2024 to 2027, aims to strengthen the digital resilience of municipal administrations. As part of REDIKOM, a forensic, structural and procedural analysis is being carried out in order to reduce the existing deficit in quantitative and qualitative (incident) data, develop tried-and-tested recommendations for action and derive a playbook from this.
