Workshop theme: The EU PALAEMON project and the University of the Aegean Information Management Lab | UAegean i4m Lab organized on 24 November 2022, 14:30 - 16:30 CET an online workshop with the participation of speakers from the industry, the research community and the policy-making world to discuss, under the PALAEMON views and acquired experience, the ongoing digital transformation of the evacuation process in the passenger ships.

The objective of the workshop was to explain to the broader community the PALAEMON’s project main outcomes, report on the projects’ objectives and achievements until now, and receive feedback.

During the workshop, researchers from the PALAEMON project, the ISOLA project, the SafePass project, the 5G-TOURS project, the SAFEGUARD project and the SmartSea project presented critical technology needs and design principles for emerging intelligent evacuation management technologies in the maritime domain, while drawing analogies from the design of evacuation management systems in large public infrastructures (airport etc.). The role of ICT, smart situation-awareness, personalized emergency messaging and real-time emergency guidance technologies, to the enhancement of mass evacuation management processes was also highlighted.
