Welcome to Secure-Force web site!

 
What is Secure Force?
 
secure_forceSecure Force comprises a network of European partners promoting the participation of small and medium sized companies in the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), the EU's main instrument for funding  research and development across Europe.
 
Secure Force is an ETI project focused on SECURITY research.
 
Who should be involved? 
 
SECURE FORCE will be of interest of small and medium sized companies with an interest in SECURITY-research-related sectors, such as:
  • Secure communication systems and services
  • Networked infrastructure security
  • Trasportation facility security (including aeronautics)
  • Privacy and data protection
  • Protection against terrorism & bio-terrorism
  • Crisis prevention and management
SECURE FORCE will also be of relevance to Universitie, public research centres and large companies in the security fields with a view to integrating small companies with appropriate technologies and expertise in their security related R&D projects, funded through FP7.

Email received from NEM-SEC working-group

31 January 2008
The CISTRANA event was a success and the final slides can be found at http://www.cistrana.org/events/index_security_seminar.htm

I want to thank everyone who contributed to the position paper and enabled me to put together such a comprehensive presentation. I would also like to thank Paul Walland of IT Innovation, who assisted me with the figure in the presentation and for Domenico Rotondi of TXT Group, both of whom also attended the CISTRANA event.

Following from the overwhelming response from my question about whether to continue the work of the cluster, I would like to know if it would be possible to hold a meeting alongside the next NEM General Assembly in Luxembourg being held 4/5 March. the GA starts 1pm on the 4th and ends 1pm on the 5th. Therefore, we could have a meeting on morning of 4th or afternoon of 5th March. The purpose of the meeting would be to plan future activity e.g. position paper, update to SRA, discuss current or future projects, etc. Please let me know your preferences.

 
Space and security Priorities 2008
Scritto da MUFICATA   
31 January 2008
The DG aims to enhance the competitiveness of the EU space and security sectors by strengthening cooperation with the Member States, ESA, and industry, and by coordinating research activities under the 7th Framework Programme (FP) for research and technological development.

Priorities for 2008 are:

  1. Developing user-oriented operational information services through a comprehensive Earth observation system (GMES), so that the EU’s independent access to strategic information relating to environment and security is guaranteed.
  2. Strengthening the space sector in the EU by moving to co-ordinated space activities at EU and international level, and through space related research.
  3. Increasing the technological basis for security in Europe, so that higher safety levels are possible.

 

 
Understanding the Seventh Framework Programme in SECURITY
Scritto da MUFICATA   
27 January 2008
SECURITY European security is a precondition for prosperity and freedom. The need for a comprehensive security strategy encompassing both civil and defence security measures must be addressed.  Budget: €1 400 million (2007 - 2013)

What's the benefit for citizens:

We need to invest in knowledge and develop further technologies in order to protect our citizens from threats such as terrorism, natural disasters and crime while respecting privacy and safeguarding fundamental rights.

During FP7, EU funded research will tackle themes linked to civil security (anti-terrorism and crisis management) and will contribute to a whole range of Community policies such as transport, mobility, civil protection, energy, environment and health. By co-operating and coordinating efforts on a Europe-wide scale, the EU can better understand and respond to risks in a constantly changing world.

What's the benefit for researchers:

Security related research is expected to generate new knowledge and promote the application of new technologies in the field of civil security. Research in the timeframe of the FP7 will address the following areas:

  • Security of citizens (technology solutions for civil protection, bio-security, protection against crime and terrorism)
  • Security of infrastructures and utilities (examining and securing infrastructures in areas such as ICT, transport, energy and services in the financial and administrative domain)
  • Intelligent surveillance and border security (technologies, equipment, tools and methods for protecting Europe's border controls such as land and coastal borders)
  • Restoring security and safety in case of crisis (technologies and communication, co-ordination in support for civil, humanitarian and rescue tasks)
  • Security systems integration, interconnectivity and interoperability (information gathering for civil security, protection of confidentiality and traceability of transactions)
  • Security and society (acceptance of security solutions, socio-economic, political and cultural aspects of security, ethics and values, social environment and perceptions of security)
  • Security research co-ordination and structuring (co-ordination between European and international security research efforts in the areas of civil, security and defence research)

What's the benefit for industry and SMEs:

Security research will reinforce the competitiveness of the European security industry by stimulating the cooperation of providers and users for civil security solutions. It will also draw the best intellectual and technological skills across Europe through the active involvement of SMEs.
