  4. Objectives: Improve EU-citizen security Reinforce European technological and industrial potential and encourage cross sector interaction Prepare a European Security Research Programme (ESRP) Planned duration of 3 years (2004-2006) A total planned budget of € 55 Mio (15+15+25) Funding up to 75% Projects & supporting activities Preparatory Action for Security Research (PASR)

  10. Establish a European Security Research Advisory Group (ESRAB) To advise on content and implementation of ESRP To establish user needs and encourage cooperation between Member States (IPR, information classification and protection) ESRAB will include experts from stakeholders: users, industry and research organisations Coordinate Security Research with research at Community, intergovernmental, national level or with international organisations Consultation & Cooperation

  11. Security Research shares theme 9 with Space Research within collaborative research in FP7 First draft of FP 7 to be adopted today Level of funding (additional to existing funding), thus contributing to the 3% GDP goal and the Lisbon objectives: around 500 M€ per year to be shared with Space Research Inter-institutional debate launched Security Research as part of FP 7

  12. Ensure CSFP, ESDP and other EC policies are accounted for in the ESRP Develop cooperation and Synergies with the European Defence Agency (EDA) Commission to be part of the Steering Board of EDA Administrative arrangement to organise working relations with EDA Possible EC contribution to specific EDA projects An effective institutional setting

  13. Establish mechanisms for effective management of Security Research, in consultation with Member States and other stakeholders, and using EC experience in managing RTD Programmes Put in place flexible contracts, participation and funding mechanisms, using stakeholder experience & specific experience to be gained from the PASR An appropriate governance structure
