Project end date: 2026-06-30
Project status: ongoing
Relevant linked projects:
- Danube TMF (EN) | The overall objective of the Danube TMF transnational project was to increase the safety of the mining and industrial tailings management facilities located in the DRB by contributing to strengthen the technical and management capacity at the concerned facilities and responsible authorities.
- Results of the project were practical tools for self-assessment and inspection such as Checklist for examinations of a minimum set of TMF technical safety requirements, developed and tested Tailings Risk Index methodology, TMF Inventory for the Danube River Basin, Transboundary TMF risk map. (See below in C.2.7.)
- (EN), DiMaND (EN) | The project directly supported the implementation of EUSDR PA5, thereby the main goal of ‘DiMaND – Disaster Management Network in the Danube Region’ project was to strengthen the Disaster Management Network in the Danube Region, and to improve the effectiveness of disaster preparedness and response at regional level by promoting the network of governmental and non-governmental disaster management organisations. The project identified good practices in disaster management through the expertise of various stakeholders (such as civil protection, local governance, firefighting and volunteer organizations), region-specific characteristics of disaster risks and the impact of climate change on the DR.
- Moreover, the project identified good practices and gaps in preparedness, response activities and hazardous substances.
- In the capacity building, the training of trainers methodology was applied first in this field with success, and the Standard Operational Procedures were established for exercise organizers.
- Furthermore, the DiMaND project set up a the Roadmap of Actions of EUSDR DM-WG defining next steps for the upcoming years. (EN)

Contribution to wider strategies and policies:
- EUStrategyDanubeRegion The major driver to realize the SAFETY4TMF project is the Priority Area 5 of the EUSDR, especially Target 3 (aiming to continuously update the existing database of accident hazard spots (AHS Inventory), contaminated sites and tailing management facilities) and Target 4 (supporting the assessment of disaster risks in the Danube Region, encouraging actions to promote disaster resilience, preparedness and response activities in line with the European Union Civil Protection
- Mechanism).
- SAFETY4TMF will contribute to the overall DRB-wide knowledge update and uptake about TMFs via further development of the existing tools and creation of new ones.
- What is a clear added value of the project is the improvement of cooperation at transnational level in training curriculum enhancement via regional and transnational trainings on the early warning - action - response steps, and the policy level white paper and connected action plan, including recommendations targeted at closely collaborating fields of practical expertise concerned with the safety of TMFs . The SAFETY4TMF puts much emphasis on involving various stakeholders of the key 3 steps in a coordinated, practice-oriented way from the municipal level to higher operative one.
- The existing ICPDR framework for transnational cooperation ensures the higher-policy uptake of the project results via the Disaster Management Working Group of EUSDR PA5 and the Accident
- Prevention & Control Expert Group of ICPDR (joining the project as an ASP).
- EuropeanGreenDeal SAFETY4TMF can contribute to the European Green Deal in the following ways:
- # Environmental protection: The project's focus on enhancing TMF safety aligns with the goal of environmental protection under the European Green Deal. By improving risk management and disaster prevention measures related to TMFs, the project aims to minimize the environmental impact of potential accidents or incidents. This contributes to the overall objective of the European Green Deal to protect and restore the environment.
- # Resource efficiency: The SAFETY4TMF project can contribute to resource efficiency by promoting sustainable practices in TMF management. Through improved spatial planning, enhanced monitoring, and coordination procedures, the project seeks to optimize the use of resources and minimize waste generation. By incorporating resource-efficient approaches, the project aligns with the resource efficiency objectives of the European Green Deal.
- # Climate change adaptation: The project's efforts to enhance the prevention, preparedness, and disaster management activities related to TMFs can contribute to climate change adaptation. Climate change can increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, which may pose risks to TMFs. By improving risk modelling and disaster management practices, SAFETY4TMF aims to enhance the resilience of TMFs to climate-related challenges, supporting the climate change adaptation goals of the European Green Deal.
- # Sustainable mining practices: The SAFETY4TMF project indirectly supports the European Green Deal's objective of promoting sustainable mining practices. By addressing the safety and environmental aspects of TMFs, the project encourages the mining industry to adopt responsible practices that minimize negative impacts on the environment and local communities. This aligns with the European Green Deal's aim to promote sustainable resource extraction and transition to a circular economy.
- TerritorialAgenda2030 SAFETY4TMF contributes to the TA 2030 in a number of ways:
- #By analyzing policies, procedures, stakeholders and communication practices, SAFETY4TMF seeks to identify areas for improvement in TMF safety. The project aims to enhance risk modelling, spatial planning, monitoring and coordination procedures related to TMFs. These efforts align with the goal of preventing and mitigating potential disasters, contributing to the overall risk prevention and management objectives of the Territorial Agenda 2030.
- #The project emphasizes the importance of cooperation among multi-level governance actors, including authorities, municipalities, first responders, academia and others. By promoting collaboration and knowledge exchange through trainings, workshops, conferences and peer-review visits, the project fosters transnational cooperation to address TMF-related risks. This aligns with the Territorial Agenda 2030's objective of promoting cooperation and integrated approaches for territorial development.
- #The project focuses on enhancing national and transnational capacity building to improve TMF safety. It utilizes a practice-oriented approach that involves on- and offline trainings, co-working and knowledge exchange activities. By building capacity and sharing best practices, SAFETY4TMF contributes to the development of applicable solutions and the improvement of TMF safety policies and practices at all levels, supporting the knowledge-driven approach of the Territorial Agenda 2030.
- #The knowledge and experience generated through SAFETY4TMF's pilot actions, such as advanced risk modelling, improved spatial planning, enhanced monitoring and coordination procedures, will inform policy and practice improvement. The project aims to influence local, national and macroregional policies to create a more supportive environment for TMF safety. This aligns with the Territorial Agenda 2030's objective of improving policy frameworks and governance mechanisms for territorial development.
