Work on the project entitled 鈥淪afe Stadium 鈥� Integrated large sport facilities protection system supporting the CBRN security of mass events鈥�, which has been underway since June 2021, has been carried out by experts from the Biohazard Prevention Centre at the Faculty of Biology and Environmental Sciences of the University of 艁贸d藕 in cooperation with sports clubs Real Madrid, Lech Pozna艅 and MSK 沤ilina, as well as the Municipal Arena of Culture and Sport in 艁贸d藕, police, fire and rescue services, and several institutions from across Europe. The rules, procedures and recommendations they developed, now included in the EU Council Conclusions, are intended to improve the overall safety of mass events in stadiums and sports halls.
