Security research and development
One of Europe's main objectives is to preserve its values as an open society, including respect for fundamental rights and freedom, while addressing the increased and diversified security threat.
Over the last decade we have witnessed a shift in security threats. The fight against terrorism and organised crime, the protection of the external European borders, the need for preparedness in case of natural disasters and civil crisis management have gained importance in our daily life. Internal and external security has become increasingly inseparable. Addressing them requires the use of modern technology prompting citizen concern.
At the same time, Europe must secure its economy and its competitiveness against an increased threat of disruption to its basic economic infrastructures, including industrial assets and transport, energy and information networks.
By cooperating and coordinating efforts on a Europe-wide scale, by stimulating the cooperation of providers and users of civil security solutions, the EU can better understand and respond to the risks in a constantly changing world.
