DL: 14 November 2018 - SECURE SOCIETIES- protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens call for proposals 2018 is opened.
The core of research in this area is the development of new products to meet the needs of security practitioners. Research is not just about developing new technologies or applying emerging technologies, but also requires understanding phenomena such as violent radicalization and the development of more effective policies and interventions. This means social sciences and the humanities will be involved.
A total indicative budget of EUR 704.59 Million is allocated to this programme.
