Why Security Research at EU level ?• “A Secure Europe in a Better World ”(Dec. 2003): new
threats, more diverse and less predictable
• Develop a European security culture supported by a credible EU industry
• Develop synergies between civil & military research and between public & private sectors
• Ensure coherence & coordination to reduce fragmentation and eliminate duplication
• Ensure interoperability and networking
• Stimulate investment in Technology to enable security and contribute to the 3% of GDP objective for research

European Initiatives
• I. Group of Personalities: “Research for a secure Europe”
• II. EC Communication « Security Research - the Next Steps »
• III. Preparatory Action for Security Research (2004-2006)

I. The Group of Personalities (GoP)
• A Commission initiative with 27 Personalities from politics, European Parliament, governments, Industry, Research & Academia
• To propose principles and priorities of a future European Security Research Programme (ESRP)…
• In line with EU foreign, security and defence policy objectives and the ambition to construct an area of freedom, security and justice.
6cp Workshop:Linking Defence and Security
R&D with Innovation19 November 2004 PdS/6/25
GoP Report main recommendations
• Coordinate national, intergovernmental and community research efforts
• Bridge the gap between civil & defence security research.
• Establish a Security Research Advisory Board
• Launch a European Security Research Programme (ESRP)
• …while respecting individual rights, democratic values, ethics and liberties.

R&D with Innovation19 November 2004 PdS/7/25
II. EC Communication « Security Research-The Next Steps »
• Communication adopted 03 September 2004
• The EC subscribes to the main thrust of the GoP report
• The EC is to take actions in 4 domains:– i. Consultation and cooperation with stakeholders– ii. ESRP– iii. An effective institutional setting– iv. An appropriate governance structure
6cp Workshop:Linking Defence and Security
R&D with Innovation19 November 2004 PdS/8/25
i. Consultation & Cooperation• Establish a European Security Research Advisory
Group (ESRAB)– To advise on the content and implementation of the
ESRP
– To establish user needs and encourage cooperation between Member States (IPR, information classification and protection)
– ESRAB should include experts from stakeholders: users, industry and research organisations
• Coordinate ESRP with other research at Community, intergovernmental, national level or with international organisations
6cp Workshop:Linking Defence and Security
R&D with Innovation19 November 2004 PdS/9/25
ii. A European Security Research Programme (ESRP) from 2007
• Issue a draft ESRP in spring 2005 (content, financial plan and institutional framework) to become a specific programme within FP7
• Give ESRP an appropriate level of funding (additional to existing funding), thus contributing to the 3% GDP goal and the Lisbon objectives
• Initiate an inter-institutional debate for a consensus on the ESRP
6cp Workshop:Linking Defence and Security
R&D with Innovation19 November 2004 PdS/10/25
iii. An effective institutional setting
• Ensure CSFP, ESDP and other EC policies are accounted for in the ESRP
• Develop cooperation and Synergies with the European Defence Agency (EDA)
– Commission to be part of the Steering Board of EDA
– Administrative arrangement to organise working relations with EDA
– Possible EC contribution to specific EDA projects
6cp Workshop:Linking Defence and Security
R&D with Innovation19 November 2004 PdS/11/25
iv. An appropriate governance structure
• Establish mechanisms for effective management of the ESRP, in consultation with Member States and other stakeholders, and using EC experience in managing RTD Programmes
• Put in place flexible contracts, participation and funding mechanisms, using stakeholder experience & specific experience to be gained from the Preparatory Action
