1. 131 March 2006 Hellenic Research Foundation Security Research in the 7th Framework Programme 2007-2013 Pieter De Smet European Commission, DG ENTR

2. 231 March 2006 Hellenic Research Foundation Why Security Research ? To support CFSP and to achieve a high level of security within a EU wide area of Justice, Freedom and Security. To contribute to developing technologies and capabilities in support of other Community policies such as transport, civil protection, energy and environment. To contribute, through technology and innovation, to reinforcing the competitiveness of European security industry To exploit synergies & dualities between civil / security / defence sectors as well as between public / private research sectors To coordinate efforts and reduce fragmentation & duplication To stimulate investment in technology ( Barcelona objective of 3% of GDP for research) and hence contribute to the Lisbon objective

4. 431 March 2006 Hellenic Research Foundation PREPARATORY ACTION on Security Research (PASR) An immediate response from the Commission to the requests coming from the Council, from the European Parliament and from industry. With the ultimate goal of preparing the a fully- fledged programme to advance security of European Citizens through research and technology from 2007

5. 531 March 2006 Hellenic Research Foundation Established in March 2005 Mandate: recommendations to the Commission on the –strategic missions, focus areas and priority setting for FP7-security –technological capabilities to be in place among the European stakeholders –strategic and operational aspects taking into account the experience from PASR –implementation issues such as the exchange of classified information and intellectual property rights –optimising the use of publicly owned research/evaluation infrastructures –a communications strategy to promote awareness ESRAB

10. 1031 March 2006 Hellenic Research Foundation Security & Space as a single priority Security and Space are both new research topics in the framework programme Security and Space (with GMES) have both strong security elements, with dual use aspects Both items are sensitive subjects sharing the need to have specific implementation rules Together Security and Space have the required critical mass to have sufficient visibility and weight with respect to other cooperative research themes

11. 1131 March 2006 Hellenic Research Foundation General Principles for Security Research Activities to be mission-oriented in order to develop technologies necessary to meet capability requirements Activities to complement & integrate technology and system- oriented research carried out in other themes Programme to be flexible to accommodate unknown future security threats and possible new policy requirements. Cross-fertilisation with other research sectors and development of multi-purpose technologies to be stimulated Cooperation between providers (industry) and users (public authorities) of security solutions to be encouraged Individual rights, public liberties and democratic values to be taken into account

12. 1231 March 2006 Hellenic Research Foundation 4 Main missions 1.Protection against terrorism and crime –Technology solutions for threat awareness (e.g. CBRN) –Detection, prevention, identification, protection, neutralisation and containment of effects of terrorism & crime 2.Security of infrastructures and utilities –analysing& & securing existing & future infrastructures, systems and services 3.Border security –Technologies & capabilities to enhance security of land & coastal boarders, including border control & surveillance issues 4.Restoring security in case of crisis –Technologies to support emergency management operations, inter- organisational coordination & communication, distributed architectures & human factors

13. 1331 March 2006 Hellenic Research Foundation 3 Cross-cutting areas 1.Security Systems Integration & Interoperability –Technologies to enhance interoperability of systems, equipment, services & processes –Organisation, protection of confidentiality & integrity of information, traceability of transactions, processing 2.Security and Society –Socio economic aspects related to crime, perception of security, ethics, privacy, societal foresight –Safeguarding privacy & liberties, vulnerabilities, new threats, management & impact assessment of consequences 3.Security Research Coordination & Structuring –Coordination of security research efforts, development of synergies (civil/security/defence), legal conditions, use of infrastructures

14. 1431 March 2006 Hellenic Research Foundation Implementation (I) Long term vision, research agenda, programme of work and implementation rules defined with the assistance of ESRAB (European Security Research Advisory Board) Need to recognize specifics of security research (e.g. sensitive subjects, IPR, handling of classified information, funding level, international cooperation) Preferred instruments (primarily on the basis of calls for proposals) –Collaborative research –Coordination and support actions (calls for tenders also possible) –Possibly Networks of excellence

15. 1531 March 2006 Hellenic Research Foundation Implementation (II) Need to recognize specifics of security research, sensitive subjects / public procurement: IPR, handling of classified information, funding level, international co-operation

16. 1631 March 2006 Hellenic Research Foundation Relations with the EDA Common objective of the cooperation: increase the efficiency of EU action by encouraging synergies/avoiding duplication Full association of the EDA in all Commission initiatives and reciprocally ESRAB will advise the Commission on the substance and the implementation of security part of FP7 at the level of the specific program and the work program EDA participant in ESRAB will be the central coordination focal point to ensure coordination

17. 1731 March 2006 Hellenic Research Foundation Main messages Security is pre-condition for Europe’s growth and competitiveness Technology alone will not solve all security problems but security without the use of technology is impossible Security research will centre on meeting commonly defined end-user requirements Research with civil application focus but full transparency with EDA Need for balance between protection of civil liberties/freedoms and security needs Research is not an end it itself – standards, regulation etc.. Budget must be commensurate with political ambitions Planned FP7 approval: end of 2006; First call: 2007
