Discover how the SparkUp project, funded by Horizon Europe WIDERA, fosters cross-sector mobility and CBRNE talent development, bridging the gap between LEA tech tools and human capability in the European Research Area.

Discover how the SparkUP project is fostering career interoperability and cross-sector innovation to build more flexible and resilient CBRNE careers in Europe.

Welcome to the official SPARKUP Training Catalogue. Developed by Work Package 2, this comprehensive guide serves as an operational blueprint to bridge the gap between academic theory and industry reality within the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) sector across the Southern Central and Eastern European (CEE) region.

Attila Wootsch from Privanova joined the first SPARKUP podcast episode to discuss EU funding opportunities, consortium building, and practical advice for SMEs entering the CBRNE innovation ecosystem.

SparkUp participated in the LEA Projects Cluster Meeting on Friday, 24 October 2025, hosted by Privanova and SafeHorizon, gathering representatives from over 45 EU-funded projects in the field of law enforcement innovation, cybersecurity, and digital resilience.

SPARKUP Project aims to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy that strengthens the Southern CEE region’s CBRNE resilience by focusing on talent development, cross-sectoral collaboration, and sustainable research excellence.

The SparkUp Project was recently presented at the UNODC Constructive Dialogue on Technical Assistance and International Cooperation by Farhan Sahito, partner at Privanova.
