This article explores the significant role played by Poland in the EU-SENSE project, a landmark initiative under the Horizon 2020 framework, focusing on the advancement of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) security. Emphasising Poland’s leadership and strategic coordination, the article examines the project’s impact on enhancing national CBRN capabilities, integrating new technologies into Poland’s security framework, and fostering international collaboration. The study highlights the advancements in sensor technology, reduction of false positives in threat detection, and the development of a comprehensive response mechanism to CBRN threats. Furthermore, it delves into the implications of these advancements for Poland’s role in the global CBRN security context, illustrating how the project not only improved Poland’s national security capabilities but also established the country as a contributor to global CBRN defence efforts. The article concludes by discussing the future directions in CBRN security, emphasising the ongoing opportunities for technological innovation and strategic planning within Poland’s national security system.
