Lessons learnt, gaps and future needs in "Societal Security" research

We would hereby like to welcome you to the Workshop on "Societal Security" R&D - lessons learnt, gaps and future needs" which is organised by the Security Research Theme in DG Enterprise and Industry.

The workshop will take place on Thursday 1 July 2010 at 14.00-17.30 in the Charlemagne building (Rue de la Loi, 170) in Brussels.

Before the workshop, some 50 invited experts will meet to discuss different aspects of societal security and how well on-going research activities in societal security are matching the needs, lessons learnt until now, and identified gaps.

The outcome of this work will be presented to you as an introduction to the discussions on how to address the gaps and research needs in societal security R&D in the future (both in short and longer term) in these areas.

We would therefore like to invite all interested stakeholders in Societal Security R&D to participate in this important workshop.
