FP7-Security RD (2007-2013)

• Mission-driven character
• 1,400 Million EUR (20 to SMEs)
• More than 300 projects and 2,500 participants
• EU funding 40 of total European funding

3
FP7 successes and lessons learned

• Some FP7 project results
• -have been rapidly integrated into successful
  commercial products
• - produced (lasting) benefits to stakeholders
  (even outside the consortium involved)
• First lessons
• - independent testing and validation of the
  results recommended at the end
• - greater emphasis should be given to
  dissemination to users' community
• - Large scale initiatives have given visibility

4
H-2020 Key pillars

• Supporting Europe's excellent science base
• Building industrial leadership in Europe
• Tackling societal challenges for a better society
• Secure societies

5
Security a societal challenge

• It concerns the protection of citizens, society
  and economy as well as Europe's assets,
  infrastructures and services, its prosperity,
  political stability and well-being.
• Any malfunction or disruption, intentional or
  accidental, can have a detrimental impact with
  high associated economic or societal costs.

6
Secure Societies does industry matter?

• The security industry is one of the sectors with
  highest potential for growth and employment in
  the EU. In 2011, the sector employed 180,000
  people, with an annual turnover of approximately
  30 billion.
• Overcoming market fragmentation through EU-wide
  standards
• Reducing the gap from research to market by
  introducing new funding schemes such as
  Pre-Commercial Procurement
• Better integration of societal considerations by
  thoroughly assessing the impact of security
  technologies on fundamental rights

7
Security Research

• Maintains its mission driven character
• Supports EU internal and external security
  policies
• Supports the EU industry to be competitive
• Strengthens the involvement of the end-users
• Takes more into account the Societal Dimension
• Includes Cyber-Security

36
Cyber Security

• Citizens, businesses and administrations
  increasingly involved in digital interactions and
  transactions.
• Internet led to cyber-crime worth B/ year, to
  attacks to critical infrastructures and to
  breaches of privacy.
• Lack of security of digital technologies is a
  risk for economy and society.
• Cyber security has become a political and
  economic priority.
• Eurobarometer 50 of the EU citizens are worried
  (percentage increasing)

37
Cyber security has become part of "Secure
Societies

• Challenges
• - How to assess the threats in cyber-space and
  their possible scope?
• - How to best tackle cyber-threats and protect
  citizens in the digital domain?
• Convergence of traditional security needs and the
  digital world. Many infrastructures and services
  privately owned and operated, yet protection of
  public (safety and) security is responsibility of
  public authorities.
• Security is an issue that can only be tackled
  effectively if all stakeholders cooperate
  companies and authorities must work together
  across borders.

38
International Dimension

• All topics are open to international cooperation
• Some topics explicitly encourage international
  cooperation
• "In line with the EU's strategy for
  international cooperation in research and
  innovation international cooperation is
  encouraged, and in particular with international
  research partners involved in on-going
  discussions and workshops, and US homeland
  security research entities. Funding for third
  countries is however still subject to the 
  evaluations."
• Eligibility for funding see Art. 10.2 of the
  Rules for Participation

39
Maritime Security European Council calls for
action

• In the December 2013 conclusions, the European
  Council called for "an EU Maritime Security
  Strategy by June 2014, on the basis of a joint
  Communication from the Commission and the High
  Representative, taking into account the opinions
  of the Member States, and the subsequent
  elaboration of action plans to respond to
  maritime challenges"
• By doing so the Council highlighted the
  importance of the topic and encouraged the
  Commission to take action in the field of
  maritime security.

Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP)

• In Security Industrial Policy-Action Plan for an
  innovative and competitive Security Industry
  (COM(2012) 417 final) it is written
• Pre-commercial procurement (PCP) is a very
  useful tool in bridging the gap from research to
  market..in particular in domains, where there is
  an institutional market or a market largely
  driven by legislation, given that public
  procurement of innovative products and services
  is vital for improving the quality and efficiency
  of public services at a time of budget
  constraints.
• Eventually, PCP should enable public users to
  play a more central role in the innovation cycle
  through the purchase of novel technologies.
• Procurers should act as "agents of change".

• The Commission intends to devote a significant
  part of the Secure Societies budget in Horizon
  2020 on this instrument.

44
PCP - Pre-Commercial Procurement

• When
• Challenge requires RD to get new solutions
  developed. Problem clear, but pros / cons of
  several potential competing solutions not
  compared / validated yet. No commitment to deploy
  (PPI) yet.
• What
• Public sector buys RD to steer development of
  solutions to its needs, gather info about pros /
  cons of alternative solutions to be better
  informed to make specs for a follow-up PPI
  possibly later, to avoid supplier lock-in (create
  competitive supply base)
• How
• Public sector buys RD from several suppliers in
  parallel (comparing alternative solution
  approaches), in form of competition evaluating
  progress after critical milestones (design,
  prototyping, test phase), risks benefits of RD
  (e.g. IPRs) shared with suppliers to maximise
  incentives for wide commercialisation

46
Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions

• When?
• Challenge requires solution which is almost on
  the market or already on the market in small
  quantity but not meeting public sector
  requirements for large scale deployment yet. No
  RD involved (already done, or not needed)
• What?
• Public sector acts as launching customer / early
  adopter / first buyer for innovative products and
  services that are newly arriving on the market
  (not widely commercially available yet)
• How?
• Public sector acts as facilitator establishing a
  buyers group with critical mass that triggers
  industry to scale up its production chain to
  bring products on the market with desired quality
  / price ratio within a specific time. After
  potentially a test / certification / labelling,
  the buyers group buys a significant volume of
  solutions.

• - critical infrastructure surveillance solutions
  
• - protecting supply chains
• - avoiding cyber-attacks and developing cyber
  resilience systems for critical infrastructures.
• Scope focused to cover, for example
• - high throughput screening of people and bags
  including ability to screen them in reasonably
  real-time as people approach entrances to
  buildings or enter public transportation system
• - high throughput screening for vehicles to
  identify threats that warrant further inspection
  (as opposed to random searching)
• - potential CBRN-E threats and the way in which
  these threats could be carried-out against soft
  targets and critical infrastructures
• - mitigation of vehicle-borne improvised
  explosive devices, with a specific focus on
  vehicle-borne ones (e.g. in cases of parked
  vehicles, penetrative attacks, etc.).

• "To ensure the long-term competitiveness of the
  European defence industry and secure the modern
  capabilities needed, it is essential to retain
  defence Research Technology (RT) expertise,
  especially in critical defence technologies."
• Civil and defence research reinforce each other
• Further dual-use research is encouraged
• Synergies between national and EU research should
  be maximised
• A Preparatory Action on CDSP-related research
  will be set up
