Call for Proposals - Security 2012 FP7-SEC-2012-1 Closed!
Objectives
The objective of the Security theme is to develop the technologies and knowledge for building capabilities needed to:
- ensure the security of citizens from threats such as terrorism, natural disasters and crime, while respecting fundamental rights including privacy,
- ensure optimal and concerted use of available and evolving technologies to the benefit of civil European security,
- stimulate the cooperation of providers and users for civil security solutions,
- improve the competitiveness of the European security industry and
- deliver mission-oriented research results to reduce security gaps.
All seven activity areas, the four mission-oriented and the three cross-cutting areas have topics in the Security call 5. 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).
The Security theme has an exclusively civil application focus.
