EU research for a secure society : security research projects under the 7th framework programme for research : April 2018

Europe has never been so peacefully consolidated or prosperous, yet it is also vulnerable to threats such as terrorism, organised crime and natural disasters. Making Europe more secure and resilient for its citizens and critical infrastructures, while strengthening its SMEs and industrial competitiveness, is the goal of security research. By stimulating research and innovation and promoting direct cooperation between providers and end-users of security equipment, systems and knowledge - the EU can better understand and prepare itself to face risks and disruptive events in a constantly changing world.
