Enhancing security through Research and Innovation

The EU Commission published a staff working document titled “Enhancing security through research and innovation".

The document describes examples of how

• law enforcement authorities,
• border guards and
• first responders

benefit from EU security research projects promoting innovative technologies and knowledge sharing. The area of activities range from fighting crime and terrorism to border management and disaster resilience.

The document also promotes a capability driven approach towards civil security, moving from a reactive approach towards foresight, prevention and preparedness among security practitioners.
