Collaboration. Impact. Responsibility.

We co-develop practical solutions with emergency services; designed with them, for them, and ready for the real world.

We’re a not-for-profit innovation lab ​built with, and for, emergency services

CESCIL brings together frontline professionals, researchers, and sector partners to co-create practical, people-first solutions built for operational realities.

We work in 3 key areas

Supporting innovation that’s grounded, inclusive, and built for impact.

Innovation & ​Technology Development

We work alongside emergency services, using shared tools, methods, and capacity that most teams wouldn’t have access to on their own. 

Our lab model creates a safe-to-fail space for experimentation – so ideas can be tested, refined, and made real without disrupting operations or compromising safety.

Emergency Services Research

We connect emergency services with research partners, helping shape questions, support field testing, and translating findings into guidance that can be applied in practice. 

The result is clear, usable knowledge that improves tools, informs decisions, and strengthens emergency response systems.

Implementation & Capacity

We support emergency services to turn innovation into sustained practice – through tailored tools, mentorship, and peer learning. 

By working alongside teams from pilot to implementation, we help build internal capacity and long-term change that outlasts any single project.

Challenges facing emergency services are urgent and complex – the kind that can’t be solved in isolation.


CESCIL helps services  work across  boundaries.
