Description

The European Security Union has the following priorities:

1. Responding to natural and man-made disasters, as well as restoration and reconstruction
2. Preventing, investigating and prosecuting crime, including organized crime and terrorism
3. Improved border protection
4. Protecting infrastructure against natural and human-created threats, including cyber-attacks
5. General respect for digital security, privacy and data protection
6. Space-related research.

Innovative systems are a prerequisite for Europe's high safety standard. Research and development in this work program are necessarily practical and require a thorough understanding of phenomena such as radicalization and violence in order to intervene effectively. This requires the inclusion of social sciences and humanities.

Funding schemes:

• Research and Innovation Action (RIA)
• Innovation Action (IA)
• Coordination and Support Action (CSA)
   

Detailed information on program goals and their implementation can be found in the work program. Important: Please be sure to pay attention to the specifications of the individual calls for proposals: they are arranged under the aspects of Specific Challenge, Scope, Expected Impact and Type of Action. For questions, please contact the EU office.
