POP-ART participó en las V Jornadas de Comunicación de los Fondos Europeos para la Seguridad Interior, un encuentro clave que, además, representó el evento de cierre del proyecto.
En esta ocasión POP-ART fue presentado ante la Secretaría de Estado de Seguridad.
Durante la jornada presentamos un vídeo demostrativo con los principales resultados del proyecto y contamos con la participación del SIRA, el perro robot integrado en la plataforma POP-ART, que generó gran interés entre los asistentes.
Además, se colocó a disposición del público diverso material audiovisual y demostrativo, ofreciendo a los interesados la posibilidad de profundizar en las tecnologías, casos de uso y capacidades desarrolladas a lo largo del proyecto.
Un evento excelente para dar visibilidad al trabajo realizado y para seguir acercando innovaciones tecnológicas al ámbito de la seguridad interior.

As part of the POP-ART project, the final demonstration of the platform took place during the 4th UN International Conference on Financing for Development. On this occasion, the Spanish National Police, through its Intervention Units (UIP), used the POP-ART Platform to support the security operation.
The demonstration highlighted the platform’s ability to monitor the real-time movement of deployed units, improving the operational coordination, and enhancing decision-making through its integration into the Forward Command Post of Spanish National Police.
The Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4), organized by the United Nations, will be held in Seville, Spain, from June 30 to July 3, 2025. This event will bring together world leaders and international delegations with the aim of addressing the financial challenges that jeopardize the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
During this conference, the POP-ART system will be tested as part of the deployed security system, providing the Spanish National Police with advanced functionalities designed to strengthen its operational capabilities. This validation in a real and highly demanding environment represents a key step in demonstrating the maturity and effectiveness of the tools developed within the framework of the project.
On April 14, 2025, the second large-scale demonstration of the POP-ART project took place at the Air Metropolitano stadium in Madrid, during the La Liga soccer match between Atlético de Madrid and Real Valladolid.
During this event, the technologies developed and integrated in the POP-ART project were tested in the framework of a high-density public event that gathered almost 56,000 spectators. The demonstration focused on supporting the Spanish National Police in their operational deployment, enhancing real-time situational awareness and improving decision-making processes during a complex security operation.
Technological innovations such as advanced video analytics, real-time data integration and surveillance tools were deployed and coordinated through the POP-ART platform, validating their performance in a dynamic, live environment. This event marked an important milestone in the validation phase of the project and highlighted the readiness of POP-ART tools for future large-scale applications in public space protection and law enforcement operations.
