1. Piemonte Workshop 1 11 September 2006 Paolo Salieri European Commission DG ENTR-H4 Security research in FP7

2. Piemonte Workshop 2 11 September 2006 Europe facing new threats, more diverse, less predictable EU enlargement leads to increased population and territory, and to direct borders with less stable regions Need to invest in a European “security culture”, supported by a credible EU industry Need to address fragmentation and capitalize on existing RTD activities, capabilities and competences Need to develop synergies between civil and defence research, between public and private sector Need to stimulate coherence, coordination and investment Technology alone will not solve all security problems but security without the use of technology is impossible Security challenges today:

3. Piemonte Workshop 3 11 September 2006 Why EU Security Research ? To support CFSP and achieve a high level of security within a EU wide area of Justice, Freedom and Security. To contribute to the development of technologies and capabilities in support of other areas of EU activity (i.e. transport, civil protection, energy and environment…) To contribute to the competitiveness of industry To coordinate efforts and reduce fragmentation & duplication

4. Piemonte Workshop 4 11 September 2006 “European Security Research: The Next Steps” (Sept 2004) GoP report “Research for a secure Europe” (March 2004) A set of coherent initiatives time 2004 200520062007 “Towards an EU Defence Equipment Policy” (March 2003) Preparatory Action for Security Research – PASR (2004-2006) European Security Research within FP 7 (2007 - 2013) ESRAB ESRAB = European Security Advisory Board

5. Piemonte Workshop 5 11 September 2006 PREPARATORY ACTION on Security Research (PASR) Response from the Commission to the requests from Council, EU Parliament and industry, with ultimate goal of preparing a fully- fledged RTD programme for FP7 (starting from 2007) Three calls: 15 M€ budget each, ~15x over-subscribed Results200420052006 Projects 123 (6)120 (7)121 (~8) Supporting activities 50 (6)36 (5)44 (~7) Total 173 (12)156 (12)165 (~15)

7. Piemonte Workshop 7 11 September 2006 ESRAB Methodology: from Missions to Technologies ESRAB focused on 4 mission areas: –protection against terrorism and organised crime, –border security, –critical infrastructure protection –restoring security in case of crisis From the analysis of these 4 security missions, capability requirements were described, grouped into functional areas, and supporting technologies identified.

8. Piemonte Workshop 8 11 September 2006 Demonstration Projects Integration Projects Capability Projects A Low Maturity Level - System development and validation Mission specific - Combination of capabilities - Systems of Systems validation - Multi-mission - Combination of project results - Capability development (technology) Missions High Route 3 Route 2 Route 1 BCDEFGH - Start with capabilities and projects - Phase in larger projects consistent with EC funding curve proposal Research Paths

9. Piemonte Workshop 9 11 September 2006 General Principles for Security Research in FP7 Mission-oriented activities, to develop technologies necessary to meet capability requirements Contribution to : –the security of citizens –Industrial competitiveness Flexibility to accommodate unknown future security threats and possible novel policy requirements. Cooperation between the providers (industry) and the users (public authorities) of security solutions Individual rights, public liberties and democratic values taken into account

10. Piemonte Workshop 10 11 September 2006 4 main Missions 1.Security of citizens –Technology solutions for threat awareness (e.g. CBRN) –Detection, prevention, identification, protection, neutralisation and containment of effects of terrorism and crime 2.Security of infrastructures and utilities –Analysing and securing existing and future infrastructures, systems and services 3.Intelligent surveillance and border security –Technologies and capabilities to enhance security of land & coastal boarders, including border control and surveillance issues 4.Restoring security and safety in case of crisis –Technologies to support emergency management operations, inter- organisational coordination and communication, distributed architectures and human factors

11. Piemonte Workshop 11 11 September 2006 3 cross-cutting Areas 1.Security Systems Integration and Interoperability –Technologies to enhance interoperability of systems, equipment, services and processes –Organisation, protection of confidentiality & integrity of information, traceability of transactions, processing 2.Security and Society –Socio economic aspects related to crime, perception of security, ethics, privacy, societal foresight –Safeguarding privacy and liberties, vulnerabilities, new threats, management and impact assessment of consequences 3.Security Research Coordination and Structuring –Coordination of security research efforts, development of synergies (civil/security/defence), legal conditions, use of infrastructures

12. Piemonte Workshop 12 11 September 2006 Implementation (i.e. border control) Capability Projects –Small to Medium sized collaborative projects –Examples: Detection, identification & authentication, information management, situation awareness and assessment (including surveillance), information management, communication, etc. Integration Projects –Large collaborative projects –Examples: Main port security (including containers), sea borders surveillance, unregulated land border surveillance, check points, extended smart borders, etc Demonstration Projects –Very large collaborative Projects –Examples: Integrated border management system Coordination and Supporting Actions –Studies, networking & coordination, supporting measures, etc.

13. Piemonte Workshop 13 11 September 2006 Main messages Mission oriented research: Technological development in so far the application of these technologies are ‘security specific’ Complementary: –to other parts of FP7, integrating the technology and system- oriented research carried out in other Themes –to other activities in the EU Centred on meeting commonly defined end-user requirements Research not an end in itself – standards, regulations etc..
