Structure of the FP7 Security theme Tier 1: Capability projects: On the lowest level of the building block structure; Aim at building up and/or strengthening security capabilities required in the four security missions; This will be done through adaptation of available technology as well as the development of security specific technology and knowledge; In many cases these will also have cross-mission relevance; Their average duration is 2 - 4 years; The funding scheme that applies to capability projects is collaborative projects. FP7 – Co-operation - Security

Structure of the FP7 Security theme Tier 2: Integration projects: On the medium level of the building block structure; aim to develop a security system and demonstrate its performance; they depend upon the technology and knowledge building blocks carried out within the capability projects or elsewhere; their average duration is 4 years; the funding scheme that applies to integration projects is collaborative projects. FP7 – Co-operation - Security

Structure of the FP7 Security theme Tier 3: Demonstration projects: on the top level of the building block structure carry out research aiming at large scale integration, validation and demonstration of new security systems of systems going significantly beyond the state of art; they depend upon technology building blocks of the integration projects and capability projects; they intend to promote the application of an innovative security solution are implemented in 2 phases FP7 – Co-operation - Security
