Objective

The Call for this project proposal describes the objective as “to develop a methodology for optimising the design of monitoring systems for timely and effective decision making in an emergency”. This objective together with the expected impact (“A tool for making more efficient use of monitoring resources and improving the bases for decision making in emergencies, in particular in the context of the need to upgrade/replace during the next decade many of the monitoring systems installed post-Chernobyl”) can be seen so that the project shall provide all relevant information needed in design of monitoring strategies and show how this information can be used in planning of monitoring systems in an optimised way.
