Objectives

The Security theme aims at meeting its main objectives: improved security for the citizens, and enhanced competitiveness for industry. Successful demonstration of the appropriateness and performance of novel solutions is a key factor for the take-up of the output of the research work and its implementation by security policies and measures. The Security theme should also support the (re)structuring of the European security sector.

The primary ambition of the Security theme is to develop innovative security solutions and to facilitate their rapid take-up for the implementation of security policies and programmes. All seven activities, the four mission-oriented and the three cross-cutting areas have topics in the Security call 4. Topics address one (or more) of the following four ambitions:

Important capability gaps (urgent needs that can easily be fulfilled with new solutions based on innovative technologies)
Validation of solutions resulting from research and development (experimentation involving their appropriation by the end-users)
Core critical capabilities needed by Europe (where technologies are not yet mature)
High risk / high pay-off projects (with a view at long-term development of groundbreaking new technologies)
