This workshop will tackle issues that go beyond the technical, and provide a forum for broader discussions about policy gaps, legal, societal, cultural and ethical challenges.

Furthermore, during registration, we invite participants to share a short description of a transboundary crisis experience, challenge, or concern to illustrate what kind of policy and inter-organisational issues need to be addressed in a multi-agency training and response environment.

Topics and experiences of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Managing organisational responsibilities and procedures for transboundary collaboration
• Challenges and solutions for transboundary data management
• Legal and policy issues encountered when working across boundaries
• Strategies for effective response planning for transboundary collaboration
• Obstacles when using communication infrastructures and technologies in transboundary situations
• Success and struggles in cross-agency training
• Ethical, societal, and cultural issues encountered in transboundary planning and response
• Implementation of public warning and alerting systems in transboundary situations
• Security concerns when working on transboundary ICT for public safety
