Social Innovation in Security: an overview of case studies and best practices- early results from the CO-SECUR project
The Horizon Europe project CO-SECUR is dedicated to improving citizens’ security perception and behaviour in public spaces, particularly at large events and crowded areas, by engaging them in co-creating innovative security solutions.
One of the project’s main activities is the identification and collection of best practices and case studies of social innovation in security in 9 European countries – Spain, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Portugal, Romania, Poland, Greece, and Lithuania- and beyond.
This paper presents the preliminary findings of the case study and a best practices mapping, which includes over 180 identified examples from the mentioned countries.
The results offer valuable insights for developing a roadmap to enhance the perception of security in Europe by incorporating social approaches, contributing to a social development plan.
