We are pleased to invite you to the first live demonstration of the AWARE project!
Join us to see the AWARE module in action and learn how it is strengthening public warning systems and helping to protect communities at risk of natural and man-made hazards.
Date: 23rd of October, 2025
Location: Hotel Plesnik, Logarska Dolina, Slovenia
About the Demonstration
The first AWARE demonstration in Slovenia will showcase the AWARE module integrated into a long-range acoustic device (LRAD/ACOUSTICS) provided by project partner GENASYS. Participants will experience how the system delivers crystal-clear warning messages issued by Galileo satellites directly to the affected population in a defined area.
Inspired by Slovenia’s devastating 2023 floods – the country’s worst natural disaster in decades – the demonstration scenario will simulate an impending natural hazard. It will highlight the operational capacity and effectiveness of the AWARE module in ensuring fast, reliable public alerts even when telecommunications networks fail.
The AWARE module will receive genuine Galileo Emergency Warning Satellite Service alerts broadcasted by satellites and transmit them to an equipped acoustic device (display panels and indoor warning systems will be the focus of the next AWARE demonstrations). By providing audio messages, it ensures that timely, accurate information reaches citizens when it matters most, helping to reduce exposure to danger.
AWARE is one of the first projects to integrate Galileo EWSS to go beyond smartphone-based warning messages. In addition, a potential synergy between Copernicus Emergency Management Service and EWSS will be explored to highlight how integrated data can significantly improve situational awareness and response times during crises.
