36. Cyber Security Citizens, businesses and administrations increasingly involved in digital interactions and transactions. Internet led to cyber-crime worth B€/ year, to attacks to critical infrastructures and to breaches of privacy. Lack of security of digital technologies is a risk for economy and society. Cyber security has become a political and economic priority. Eurobarometer: 50% of the EU citizens are worried (percentage increasing)

37. Cyber security has become part of "Secure Societies“ Challenges: - How to assess the threats in cyber-space and their possible scope? - How to best tackle cyber-threats and protect citizens in the digital domain? Convergence of traditional security needs and the digital world. Many infrastructures and services privately owned and operated, yet protection of public (safety and) security is responsibility of public authorities. Security is an issue that can only be tackled effectively if all stakeholders cooperate: companies and authorities must work together across borders.

38. International Dimension All topics are open to international cooperation Some topics explicitly encourage international cooperation: "In line with the EU's strategy for international cooperation in research and innovation international cooperation is encouraged, and in particular with international research partners involved in on-going discussions and workshops, and US homeland security research entities. Funding for third countries is however still subject to the evaluations." Eligibility for funding: see Art. 10.2 of the Rules for Participation

39. Maritime Security: European Council calls for action In the December 2013 conclusions, the European Council called for "an EU Maritime Security Strategy by June 2014, on the basis of a joint Communication from the Commission and the High Representative, taking into account the opinions of the Member States, and the subsequent elaboration of action plans to respond to maritime challenges" By doing so the Council highlighted the importance of the topic and encouraged the Commission to take action in the field of maritime security.

43. Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) In “Security Industrial Policy-Action Plan for an innovative and competitive Security Industry” ( COM(2012) 417 final) it is written : “ Pre-commercial procurement (PCP) is a very useful tool in bridging the gap from research to market…..in particular in domains, where there is an institutional market or a market largely driven by legislation, given that public procurement of innovative products and services is vital for improving the quality and efficiency of public services at a time of budget constraints. Eventually, PCP should enable public users to play a more central role in the innovation cycle through the purchase of novel technologies. Procurers should act as "agents of change ". The Commission intends to devote a significant part of the Secure Societies budget in Horizon 2020 on this instrument.

44. PCP - Pre-Commercial Procurement When –Challenge requires R&D to get new solutions developed. Problem clear, but pros / cons of several potential competing solutions not compared / validated yet. No commitment to deploy (PPI) yet. What –Public sector buys R&D to steer development of solutions to its needs, gather info about pros / cons of alternative solutions to be better informed to make specs for a follow-up PPI possibly later, to avoid supplier lock-in (create competitive supply base) How –Public sector buys R&D from several suppliers in parallel (comparing alternative solution approaches), in form of competition evaluating progress after critical milestones (design, prototyping, test phase), risks & benefits of R&D (e.g. IPRs) shared with suppliers to maximise incentives for wide commercialisation

45. Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) When? Challenge requires R&D to get new solutions developed. Problem clear, but pros / cons of several potential competing solutions not compared / validated yet. No commitment to deploy (PPI) yet. What? Public sector buys R&D to steer development of solutions to its needs, gather info about pros / cons of alternative solutions to be better informed to make specs for a follow-up PPI possibly later, to avoid supplier lock-in (create competitive supply base) How? Public sector buys R&D from several suppliers in parallel (comparing alternative solution approaches), in form of competition evaluating progress after critical milestones (design, prototyping, test phase), risks & benefits of R&D (e.g. IPRs) shared with suppliers to maximise incentives for wide commercialisation

46. Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions When? Challenge requires solution which is almost on the market or already on the market in small quantity but not meeting public sector requirements for large scale deployment yet. No R&D involved (already done, or not needed) What? Public sector acts as launching customer / early adopter / first buyer for innovative products and services that are newly arriving on the market (not widely commercially available yet) How? Public sector acts as facilitator establishing a buyers group with critical mass that triggers industry to scale up its production chain to bring products on the market with desired quality / price ratio within a specific time. After potentially a test / certification / labelling, the buyers group buys a significant volume of solutions.

52. SME Instrument Topic (DRS 17 - Protection of urban soft targets and urban critical infrastructure) Objective: to carry out a small-scale demonstration of innovative technologies and tools (Phase 2). Area: urban critical infrastructure protection, such as, for example: - designing buildings and urban areas; - protection of energy/transport/communication grids; - critical infrastructure surveillance solutions; - protecting supply chains; - avoiding cyber-attacks and developing cyber resilience systems for critical infrastructures. Scope: focused to cover, for example: - high throughput screening of people and bags including ability to screen them in reasonably real-time as people approach entrances to buildings or enter public transportation system; - high throughput screening for vehicles to identify threats that warrant further inspection (as opposed to random searching); - potential CBRN-E threats and the way in which these threats could be carried-out against soft targets and critical infrastructures; - mitigation of vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices, with a specific focus on vehicle-borne ones (e.g. in cases of parked vehicles, penetrative attacks, etc.).

53. European Council (19-20/12 2014) Conclusions First thematic debate on defence since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty. Highlighted the importance of an effective Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). Recognised that financial constraints and fragmented defence markets limit military capabilities and jeopardise the stability and competitiveness of Europe's defence and security industry. A number of priority actions were identified: -Increasing the effectiveness, visibility and impact of CSDP -Enhancing the development of capabilities -Strengthening Europe's defence industry

54. European Council – Research & Dual-use "To ensure the long-term competitiveness of the European defence industry and secure the modern capabilities needed, it is essential to retain defence Research & Technology (R&T) expertise, especially in critical defence technologies." -Civil and defence research reinforce each other -Further dual-use research is encouraged -Synergies between national and EU research should be maximised -A Preparatory Action on CDSP-related research will be set up
