5. Key Challenges and Goals A European Security Model which builds upon the analysis of the human factors, at the root of the design of security strategies and methodologies, is needed. This Model would encompass: the development of a common understanding of security issues among EU security practitioners, as well as of the causes and effects of insecurity among EU citizens; common EU methodologies to be implemented by security practitioners. The same applies to the innovative technologies and methodologies for financial crime. Law Enforcement Agencies need new equipment to counter such developments.

6. Vision for priority areas of this call A policy-making toolkit, for security policy- makers, to advance towards a future European Security Model. Common approaches for assessing risks/threats and identifying relevant risk-based security measures, including acceptance tests and cost- benefit considerations. Better understanding of how the citizens perceive security and how it affects their feeling of insecurity. Toolkits for law enforcement agencies and improving the perception by the citizens that Europe is an area of freedom, justice and security.

7. Potential FAC contributions Stakeholder and relevant end-users consultations to support tool development. Contribute to the design of the security strategies and methodologies. Incorporation of societal and information considerations to the proposed models. Development and demonstration of test scenarios for the proposed tools. Facilitate tool testing. Project dissemination. Design exploitation strategy for the developed tools.
