Security Research in the 7th Framework Programme 2007-2013

1. Security Researchin the 7th Framework Programme2007-2013 Pieter De Smet European Commission, DG ENTR Hellenic Research Foundation

2. 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 Hellenic Research Foundation

3. A set of coherent initiatives European Security Research within FP 7 (2007 and beyond) ESRAB Preparatory Action for Security research – PASR (2004-2006) time 2004 2005 2006 2007 “European Security Research: The Next Steps” (Sept 2004) GoP report “Research for a secure Europe” (March 2004) “Towards an EU Defence Equipment Policy” (March 2003) Hellenic Research Foundation

4. PREPARATORY ACTION on Security Research (PASR) • An immediate response from the Commission tothe 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 Hellenic Research Foundation

6. Cooperation – Collaborative research(€ 44.7 billion) Ideas – Frontier Research(€ 11.9 billion) People – Human Potential(€ 7.2 billion) Capacities – Research Capacity(€ 7.6 billion) + JRC (non-nuclear)(€ 1.8 billion) JRC (nuclear) Euratom Framework Programme 7 (2007 – 2013)Budgets Commission 2005 proposal!!To be modified according to financial perspectives Hellenic Research Foundation

7. Cooperation Support will be provided to trans-national co-operation at every scale across the European Union and beyond, in a number of thematic areas corresponding to major fields of the progress of knowledge and technology, where research must be supported and strengthened to address European social, economic, environmental and industrial challenges Hellenic Research Foundation

8. Cooperation: 9 thematic priorities • Health M€ 8373* • Food, Agriculture &Biotechnology M€ 2472* • Information & Communication Technologies M€12756* • Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials & new Production Technologies M€ 4865* • Energy M€ 2951* • Environment (including Climate Change) M€ 2552* • Transport (including Aeronautics) M€ 5981* • Socio-economic Sciences & Humanities M€ 798* • Security & Space M€ 3987* Total for 7 years (2007-2013) M€ 44735 *Budget figures of Commission 2005 proposal, new FP7 proposal with decreased budget figures to be tabled by the Commission soon! Hellenic Research Foundation

9. 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 Hellenic Research Foundation

10. 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 Hellenic Research Foundation

11. 4 Main missions • 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 • Security of infrastructures and utilities • analysing& & securing existing & future infrastructures, systems and services • Border security • Technologies & capabilities to enhance security of land & coastal boarders, including border control & surveillance issues • Restoring security in case of crisis • Technologies to support emergency management operations, inter-organisational coordination & communication, distributed architectures & human factors Hellenic Research Foundation

12. 3 Cross-cutting areas • Security Systems Integration & Interoperability • Technologies to enhance interoperability of systems, equipment, services & processes • Organisation, protection of confidentiality & integrity of information, traceability of transactions, processing • 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 • Security Research Coordination & Structuring • Coordination of security research efforts, development of synergies (civil/security/defence), legal conditions, use of infrastructures Hellenic Research Foundation

13. 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 Hellenic Research Foundation

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

15. 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 Hellenic Research Foundation

16. 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 Hellenic Research Foundation
